I had a problem with this shell script:

code:

MOD="`echo $i|cut -c 10-11`"

if [ $MOD = 11 ]
then
statement 1...
fi

sample parameter is: i = 01020700.11

this script runs well in the command prompt.
but when i call this script in oracle forms statement 1 doesn't perform.

whats wrong with this one.

Thanks a lot!

What shell are you using? Can you please post a small test case?

korn shell.

It doesn't get any value in this script:
MOD="`echo "01020700.11"|cut -c 10-11`"

I try to get the value of MOD using ( echo $MOD > test.txt )
but nothing is written on the test text file thats why statement 1 doesn't execute.

Get rid of the double-quotes:

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

MOD=`echo $i|cut -c 10-11`

You could also

if [ "`echo "01020700.11"|cut -c 10-11`" = 11 ]; then
echo test
fi

Thanks a lot guys!..

All your ideas work when i run the script in command prompt but when i call the script in oracle forms using host function it doesn't work. I think the problem now in on the form side or something. Anyway i already solved my problem by trying other way.
