[TriLUG] OT - script help

[Howard Boyd II]

Outstanding! Thanks to all who replied on and off list! My problem was
not including my kludgy awk/sed stuff in back tics :) Once I put the
awk/sed in back tics I could assign to a variable for comparison
purposes. Thanks again for all the help!!!

Are you doing this in bash?

If so, try:

  declare -i varname   # makes the variable an integer
  varname=`your kludgy awk/sed stuff here`  # encased in "back tics"

That will get you an integer variable that you can use for comparisons
in an if/then/else block, or however you intend to do it.

Good luck,

Shane O.
