Condition tests using the if/then
construct may be nested. The net
result is equivalent to using the &&
compound comparison operator.
a=3
if [ "$a" -gt 0 ] then if [ "$a" -lt 5 ] then echo "The value of \"a\" lies somewhere between 0 and 5." fi fi
# Same result as:
if [ "$a" -gt 0 ] && [ "$a" -lt 5 ] then echo "The value of \"a\" lies somewhere between 0 and 5." fi
TOOD: Example 37-4 and Example 17-11 demonstrate nested if/then
condition tests.
