Hi,

I trying to test two condition together (AND) under bash but it’s not working…

The goal is ti have True when two variables are either not set or empty (empty string)

I’ve tried

if [[ -n VARIABLE1 && -n VARIABLE2 ]]; then
    echo "OK"
fi

Here I get the “OK” no matter what .

Thanks.

    Explanation

    [ is an alias for the program test, so you can call man test for more info.
    && is bash syntax for conjunction. In A && B, B will only be called if A returned a exit code >0 (error). You can call man bash for more info.
    || is bash syntax for disjunction. In A || B, B will only be called if A returned exit code =0 (success). true and false are programs that just return exit codes 0 respectively 1.
