help with grep

I have a file with the following line

NumberofSchduledJobs         66

The number at the end of the line will always be changing

I need to get that value and test it to see if is greater than 100 with
an if the will do something else.

if x > 100 then

bla bla

end if

Try this bash script

#!/bin/bash

if [ $(grep "NumberOfScheduledJobs" file.txt | gawk '{ print $2 }')
> 100 ];
then
  echo "greater than 100"
else
  echo "less than 100"
fi

You know it's going to be a bad day when you hear

if I run the command 
grep "NumberOfScheduledJobs" file.txt | gawk '{ print $2 }'
from the command prompt I get 66 but in the script I always get greater
than
To test I even changed the > to a < and it still returns greater than
100
syntax problem?

No probs, weird when I tested it on my system I used -gt first and got an
error but it worked with >  :-(

Note that due to word wrapping the word "then" should have been on the
same
line as the "if". The semi colon is the statement separator allowing
multiple commands on one line.
