I have file with 12000 lines,some of them are nan’s I have written bash,to search for these nan’s
JavaScript
x
#!/bin/bash
re='^[0-9]+([.][0-9]+)?$'
cat file0.txt | while read line
do
if ! [[ $yournumber =~ $re ]] ; then
echo "error: Not a number" >&2; exit 1
fi
done
But only this appears on the screen
JavaScript
error: Not a number
What’s wrong with my bash?

Answer
you are using exit statement, that means this script will immediately exit after printing FIRST error: Not a number
. So what is the problem with the script?
People may do if grep '^[0-9]+([.][0-9]+)?$' file0.txt then
instead.
