Shell script and to check numbers

[Chrissirhc]

Hi

If I do this:

NUMBER=10

if [ $NUMBER < 10 ]
then
echo 'number is less than 10'
else
echo 'number is not less than 10'

It doesn't work. I get the error &quot;Else unmatched&quot;. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Chris

echo 'number is less than 10'

fi
[/tt]

Oh dear (I'm no scripting expert, but I'm a bit annoyed I didn't see that)

I forgot the fi and it is -lt..

Cheers,

Chris
