If statements equaling multiple things

[jalge2]

Hi everyone. The script I am writing is basically moring out a file, and at the end of the file, I am asking if you would like to print the file. The problem I have is, I want my if statement to be equal to "y" or "Y". I thought it should be.


if [ $pans = "y" -o "Y" ]

then
lp -dpcl@pr7 (filename)

but it isn't working.

A little help would be nice. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
write if [ $pans = "y" -o $pans = "Y" ]

Amazes me that people are still using the old [] single brackets instead of the [[]] double brackets.

I'm just learning, so give me a little credit.

The [] still work, but [[]] is better. Check out the O'Reilly Korn Shell book, it's a great read. IBM Certified -- AIX 4.3 Obfuscation
