I want to have some groups of conditions in a Bash if statement. Specifically, I'm looking for something like the following:
if <myCondition1 and myCondition2> or <myCondition3 and myCondition4> then...
How may I group the conditions together in the way I describe for use with one if statement in Bash?
To use multiple conditions in one if-else block, then elif keyword is used in shell. If expression1 is true then it executes statement 1 and 2, and this process continues. If none of the condition is true then it processes else part.
Logical OR Operator ( || ) in Bash It is usually used with boolean values and returns a boolean value. It returns true if at least one of the operands is true. Returns false if all values are false.
Two types of conditional statements can be used in bash. These are, 'If' and 'case' statements.
Use the && (and) and || (or) operators:
if [[ expression ]] && [[ expression ]] || [[ expression ]] ; then
They can also be used within a single [[ ]]:
if [[ expression && expression || expression ]] ; then
And, finally, you can group them to ensure order of evaluation:
if [[ expression && ( expression || expression ) ]] ; then
