logical operation in The statement

[petrasl1976]

Hi,

How could I test file or output contents for multiple patterns?

The contents of file test_results.txt should include "success" or "well done"
The value "$DNS" should eq "1.1.1.1" or value "$DNS" should eq "1.0.0.1"

In shell i would do like this:

egrep -q "success|well done" test_results.txt
[ "$DNS" = "1.1.1.1" ] || [ "$DNS" = "1.0.0.1" ]

Thanks

As a first step, how about encasing your shell commands in a value subject e.g.
The value "$(egrep -q "success|well done" test_results.txt >/dev/null ; echo $?)" should equal 0 or ...
The value "$([[ "$DNS" =~ "1.(0.0|1.1).1" ]] ; echo $?)" should equal 0

I found this easy to read:
The value "$DNS" should match pattern "1.1.1.1|1.0.0.1"
