If statement help 1

[longhair]

good morning all,
having a bit of an issue with some logic in an HPUX 11 script.
any help would be appreciated.

...
cat /files/dsdcwhd3.txt | while read off tty tm1 tm2 tm3 tm4
  do
   if 
     [[[$tm2 = "minutes" && $tm1 > "15"] || $tm2 = "hour"]]
   then  
     print $off $tty $tm1 $tm2 >> /files/dsdcwhd3a.txt
   fi
  done
...

basically if $tm2 contains the word minutes and $tm1 is > 15 or $tm2 contains the word hour then do some work.
i've varied the # of brackets and put the variables in quotes but still do not get the anticipated output.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
regards,
longhair

change > to -gt, only one bracket, parentheses to group the and, -a for and, -o for or, whitespace after [ and before ]:

[red][ \([/red] $tm2 = "minutes" [red]-a[/red] $tm1 [red]-gt[/red] "15" [red]\) -o[/red] $tm2 = "hour"[red] ][/red]

I didn't test all of this, I'll leave that up to you.


HTH,

all sorted.
forgot that i had to test variables to ensure that they have data before implementing if.

Bottom line: man test
