I have a Bash shell function that takes an argument and performs something on it if needed.

do_something() {

  if [need to do something on $1]

  then

    do it

    return 0

  else

    return 1

  fi

}

I want to call this method with several arguments and check if at least one of them succeeded.

I tried something like:

if [ do_something "arg1" ||

     do_something "arg2" ||

     do_something "arg3" ]

then

  echo "OK"

else

  echo "NOT OK"

fi

Also, I want to make sure that even if the first condition is true all other conditions will still be evaluated.

What is the correct syntax for that?
