I'm trying to write a ( simple ) shellscript to move files arround,
for this reason I wanted to check wether 'episode_last' has a higher
value than 'episode_first' ( so that last can't be 3 if first is 60
). So I tried :
*if** [* ${episode_last} < ${episode_first}* ]*; *then

fi
*As I thought what would have been the correct syntax, but I got this error
when running the script :
./massmove: line 136: 05: No such file or directory
'05' was the value of $episode_first and '01' was the value of
$episode_last
You want "-lt" not "<". "<" is a file redirect, which is why the shell
complained that it couldn't find a file named "05". I also assume all
those asterisks aren't in your script.
About the asteriks : No they weren't but for some reason Thunderbird had
problems with the color remaining from the KATE Syntax-hilighting.
Anyway: thanks for the solusion, but what would be the expressions for
">" "less or equal" and "greater or equal" ?
