Delete a file if multiple conditions are met

What I need

I have an existing script that pulls port information for domains and stores it into a text file called portscan.txt. Example:

portscan.txt file:

somedomain.com:80
somedomain.com:443

I want to delete the information only if certain conditions are met. These conditions include:

• The file with the domains should have 2 or less lines
• The ports should only be 80 or 443 (i.e., I don't want to delete the file if 8080, 8443, or any other port exists in the file).

Note: So basically, the example file provided above should be deleted, but I do not want to delete the file if there are 2 lines, but the ports are 8080 or 8443 (or any other port for that matter) Example like so:

somedomain.com:8443
somedomain.com:443

This should not be deleted.

What I tried

I attempted scripting this out and here's what I have:

#!/bin/bash

lines=$(cat portscan.txt | wc -l)
ports=$(cat portscan.txt | grep -Pv '(^|[^0-9])(80|443)($|[^0-9])')


if [[ $lines < 3 ]] && [[ $ports != 80 ]]; then
    if [[ $ports != 443 ]]; then
        echo "I need to delete this"
    fi
else
    echo "I will NOT delete this..."
fi

This is the second rendering of the script, I attempted nested if statements because I was unable to do a condition like this:

IF portscan.txt is less than two lines AND the ports are NOT 80 OR 443

I also attempted this in a much simpler manner like so:

#!/bin/bash

lines=$(cat portscan.txt | wc -l)
ports=$(cat portscan.txt | grep -Pv '(^|[^0-9])(80|443)($|[^0-9])')


if [[ $lines < 3 ]] && (( $ports != 80||443 )); then
    echo "I need to delete this"
else
    echo "I will NOT delete this..."
fi

I have tried the (( because I read that this is better to be used with arithmetic functions -- which is what I thought I needed, but I'm not as bash savvy with conditional arguments when it should be like: "This and that or that".

Hopefully this makes sense, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, try this

[~/my_learning/lint]$ cat file.txt
somedomain.com:80
somedomain.com:443
[~/my_learning/lint]$ cat file_dont_delete.txt
somedomain.com:8443
somedomain.com:443

[~/my_learning/lint]$ for file in file.txt file_dont_delete.txt
do
num_of_lines=$(wc -l $file| xargs | awk '{print $1}')
port_scan=$(awk -F':' '{ if (($2 == "443") || ($2 == "80")) print "matched" }' $file | wc -l | xargs)
if [ $num_of_lines -le 2 ] && [ $num_of_lines -eq $port_scan ] ; then
echo "$file can be deleted"
else
echo "$file can't be deleted"
fi
done

# Output
file.txt can be deleted
file_dont_delete.txt can't be deleted

I follow the below conditions

• number of lines 2 or less than or 2.
• and for each line, I used awk to extract field 2 which is a port and check if it is either 80 or 443, and on any, I am printing matching.
• Then I am counting how many matching occurred.
• As per your description, even a single port that is not from 80 or 443 is presented, then I shouldn't delete the file.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity of writing the shell code.

Solution based on mapfile:

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s extglob

mapfile -tn3 a < $1
[[ ${#a[@]} -lt 3 ]] && { \
[[ ${#a[@]} -gt 0 && ${a[@]/%:@(80|443)} =~ :[0-9]+ ]] || echo rm -v -- $1; }

Pure bash solution, wrapped in a function and easy to read:

#!/bin/bash

possiblyDeleteFile() {
    local count=0
    local rLine port
    local otherPort=false
    while IFS= read -r -d'' rLine; do
        port="${rLine#*:}"
        ((count++))
        if [ "$port" != 80 ] && [ "$port" != 443 ]; then
            otherPort=true
        fi
    done < "$1"
    if [ $count -le 2 ] && ! $otherPort; then
        echo "Deleting file $1"
        rm -- "$1"
    fi
}

possiblyDeleteFile "$1"

To do numeric comparisons in bash you need to use -gt, -lt, etc. The < symbol is for stdin redirection.

You can either enclose the line number comparison in (( )) like you did for the port, or use -lt See https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/comparison-ops.html
