Hi Dale!

}if [ a != b ]
}
}works fine
}
}if [ a != b || c != d ]

}fails with several errors ( ']' not found, and != command not found )
}
}I have tried to enclose the expressions in {} with the same results.
}
}What is the correct syntax for this kind of statement?

if [ a != b -o c != d ]

{ test a != b && echo "jo" } || { test c != c && echo "jojo" }

Is one of the above what you expected?

Regards,

	Joey
