Bash Script - Echo at Break

[spbr]

Hi,

#!/bin/bash
sourceFile="file.log"
targetFile="2file.log"
ping="1.1.2.3"
while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
        echo "allow-hotplug wlan0" > "$targetFile"
        echo "iface wlan0 inet static" >> "$targetFile"
        echo "address 192.168.0.2" >> "$targetFile"
        echo "netmask 255.255.255.252" >> "$targetFile"
        echo "wireless-channel 6" >> "$targetFile"
        echo "wireless-essid grewep" >> "$targetFile"
        echo "wireless-mode ad-hoc" >> "$targetFile"
        echo "$line" >> "$targetFile"
        ping -q -c 5 "$ping"
        ping2=$?
        if [ "$ping2" -ne 0 ]; then
                break
        fi
        sed -n -e '8p' "$targetFile"
done < "$sourceFile"

Is there a way to echo text, at the point of break in the if statement?

Thank you

put it before the break.
