I have tried every variaton of this excpect the one that works. My IF/THEN statment in the code below works just fine, I need to change the comparison to 'EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN'.




-gt never works. I thought >= would work but that errors with unary operator expected.
I even tried putting both in to $(( expression )) format. Still no dice.

I am lost.

Thanks

Hi,

arithmetic evaluation should be done using (( )); check bash manpage /ARITHMETIC EVALUATION
know that bash doesn't deal at all with floating numbers, you'll have to use bc


also, you could feed your array a simpler way:
: no need to use grep with sed or awk


plus, you probably now have a file named 5
because > inside `test' (`[ ]') still means redirection!

Actually,

My code sample above DOES work.

I am trying to change the = and > to EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN. I am not sure if bc will help or not...
