Re: [Help-bash] checking file line: 'commit;'

[Paolo Supino]

Hi Chet

thank you for the reply, I tried [ "$string" = 'commit;' ] but it didn't
work :-( and I don't think that case cuts it for my problem.

Maybe it's worth writing what I'm trying to achieve... I have a set of
directories with a lot (10 of thousands) of SQL scripts that I need to
verify that the last statement is 'commit;'...

What I thought of doing was: If while reading a SQL script if it meets
'commit;' remember the line number it found it on (I use readarray/mapfile
and for loop to parse the SQL scripts). Afterwards check if another index
that gets incremented every time there's a SQL statement in the script. If
the second index is bigger than 'commit;' line number point it out...


If anyone has a better solution, I'm willing to read and learn...




TIA
Paolo
