What does it mean?

Hi
I wrote a script to compare files. Everything works fine, but I want the script to warn me when any file missing, then I get error on this line, I don't understand the messages. Could someone figure them out for me please, and how to fix it. Thanks

Here are the error messages:

Total M_*_18052001 are 41
Total M1705* are 10
/ARCHIVES/monitorFiles/compareFiles.ksh[54]: 41: cannot open
/ARCHIVES/monitorFiles/compareFiles.ksh[57]: 10: cannot open


Here is the code:


......
total1=`ls -l $source_file1|wc -l`
echo "Total $source_file1 are $total1"

total2=`ls -l $source_file2|wc -l`
echo "Total $source_file2 are $total2"
# The following lines give me errors above
if $total1 < 41; then
echo &quot;File is missing&quot; ;
fi
if $total2 < 10; then
echo &quot;File is missing&quot; ;
fi
.......


I run this script under ksh shell

Thanks

Hi

why don't you change the expression
if$test1 < 41 to if test $total1 < 41.... and try.
