Bash redirection combined with "double pipe" notation
bash, linux, redirect
Solution
#!/bin/bash
RESULT=`wget -qO- example.com/duff`
if [ $? -eq 0 ];
then
echo $RESULT | some_processing >> outfile.txt
fi
Problem
Is it possible to combine redirecting output to a file and pipes with ||? (Not sure what this is called) Example: ``` (wget -qO- example.com/duff || exit) | some_processing >> outfile.txt ``` If wget fails, I would like to exit and not run some_processing or create the blank file.
