I tried it hardly….Here you have to maintain the syntax
if[expression]
then
echo `expr “”Hello Name`
fi
and this conditional
if [ “foo” = “foo” ]; then
echo expression evaluated as true
fi
or the same things can be written as
if[ “foo” = “foo” ]
then
echo `expr “Hello !”`
fi
if..then..else in bash
if [ “zaki” = “live” ]
then
echo `expr “True !”
else echo `expr “False!”`
conditional with variables
t1=”zaki”
t2=”live”
if [ “$t1” = “t2” ]
then
echo `expr “True” `
else
echo `expr “False”`
fi #you have to end with this if you started with if
echo `expr "What's your name?"` read name if [ "$name" = "$USER" ] then echo `expr "Hello $name"` else echo `expr "You are not valid user!"` fi
