David W. Tamkin said at one time:
That's as far as I can go without an answer to this question: is this going
on inside a shell script or inside a procmail rcfile? If it's in a procmail
rcfile, there's a very easy solution:
:0
* $ $count^0
* $ -$LINES^0
{ error routine because $count exceeds $LINES }
:0E
{ success routine }
In a shell script, you'd need to use the shell's built-in test or /bin/test
to compare the two values.
It is a shell script called by SmartList that I am modifying.
Thanks for the great tips! I will get back to work on it all later
this evening.
Cheers,
