Check if the particular string is present in a output of shell script using shell command
I have a shell script (test1.sh) which returns the following output
Employee ID emp Type return type Admin User
us321000034006755 ITdept access Itadminuser
I wanted to check if the output contains string ITdept for that I have used the following:
if ./test1.sh | grep -q 'ITdept';
then
echo "found"
else
echo "Not found"
fi
Along with this I wanted to check the the strings Employee ID us321000034006755 too since it doesn't return any fruitful results with the command I am using not sure how to put this through. Am I missing something? any advice would be great

You need to check output from another script or inside test1.sh?

If the output will always contain only 2 lines - awk solution to check by multiple fields:
awk 'NR==2 {
printf "%s%sn",($1=="us321000034006755" && $2=="ITdept")? "":"not ","found"
}' <(sh ./test1.sh)

Ah thanks a lot for pointing out the error :-) just one question if I need to check whether 'ITdept' or 'Emp ID' or one more lets say ('access') field is present what do I need to do should I increase the NR==3 and then add in awk as : printf "%s%sn",($1=="us321000034006755" && $2=="ITdept" && $3 "access")?

If you need to execute this check inside another script you can do that with something like this:
#!/bin/bash
var=$(./test1.sh | grep -c ITdept)
if [ $var > 0 ];
then
echo "found"
else
echo "Not found"
fi
Script counts the number of strings which contain one or more 'ITdept' words.
Or in single line (with awk):
./test1.sh | grep -c ITdept | awk '{if ($0==0) print "not found"; else if ($0>0) print "found"}'
correct me if I misunderstood your task.

You need only replaceITdeptword aftergrep -c. If 'emp Type' contain spaces you need to place it in quotes

Assuming that the output will contain the string us321000034006755(separator)ITdept:
if cmd | grep -q '[[:<:]]us321000034006755[[:>:]][[:space:]]*[[:<:]]ITdept[[:>:]]'; then
...
fi
If you have the two substrings in variables:
if cmd | grep -q "[[:<:]]$user_id[[:>:]][[:space:]]*[[:<:]]$user_dept[[:>:]]"; then
...
fi
The [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] will match on word boundaries.
It would be a lot easier to do this using awk, as RomanPerekhrest suggests, or
cmd | awk '$1 == "us321000034006755" && $2 == "ITdept" { print "found"; exit } END { print "not found" }'

You need only replace
ITdept word after grep -c. If 'emp Type' contain spaces you need to place it in quotes– Egor Vasilyev

Assuming that the output will contain the string us321000034006755(separator)ITdept:
if cmd | grep -q '[[:<:]]us321000034006755[[:>:]][[:space:]]*[[:<:]]ITdept[[:>:]]'; then
...
fi
If you have the two substrings in variables:
if cmd | grep -q "[[:<:]]$user_id[[:>:]][[:space:]]*[[:<:]]$user_dept[[:>:]]"; then
...
fi
The [[:<:]] and [[:>:]] will match on word boundaries.
It would be a lot easier to do this using awk, as RomanPerekhrest suggests, or
cmd | awk '$1 == "us321000034006755" && $2 == "ITdept" { print "found"; exit } END { print "not found" }'

You need to check output from another script or inside test1.sh?
