[TIGA]

hi everybody,


i would like to ask questions regarding bash shell scripting.

but First let me introduce myself.

i am Tiga from amsterdam, and i am kind of new to the programming world.

i have been learning c++ and java.

ive also been using linux a lot lately, and writing lot of perl and bash scripts for my work and private use.

now lets get back to the question.

Question:

i have a function in bash shell that i want to use to check if the given url returns 200 response code or something else. and if the reponse code is 200 then the function should return value 0 for pass and if its anything other than 200 then it should return a value of 1 for fail. How can i do it the best way?.

e.g

----------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

#cat test.sh
#function
function wgetTest {
wget -nv $1
awk ??
}

#call function and give the variable to work with
>wgetTest Google # expected return value from the function = 0
<0
>wgetTest http://blf909df.difjoij # expected return value from the function = 1
<1
----------------------------------------

Thanks in advance.
