file search for integer

[ajse ruku]

Hi all,
I want to search in a file for any integer more that 10.
Its like
search file for i>=10
if true
send a mail
else
exit

I am not able to find a command which can provide me an integer which is equal to or greater that 10 in a file.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

thanks,
Ajse

You might want to look at what a scripting language such as awk or perl can do for you.

For example:

~% cat test
apples 8
oranges 10
bananas 17
mangos 5
strawberries 25
 
~% awk '($2 > 10){print}' test
bananas 17
strawberries 25

the following command works fine

awk '($1 > 10)' /tmp/info.txt

But when i try this in a script like

if [ awk '($1 > 10)' /tmp/info.txt ]; then
echo "problem"
else
echo "fine"
fi

then i get error following error

line 6: [: ($1 > 10): binary operator expected
fine

what could be the problem?pls suggest.

thanks,
