Regular expression in unix, help pls...

[hendnov]

Hi guys,

Just wondering about the regex of my if condition...
in $1 is = /input_data/boeing/747
but why my script doesnt match, is there something wrong with my regex (*boeing*) ?

#!/bin/ksh

if [ "$1" = *boeing* ]
then
        echo "this is boeing data"
else
        echo "no way"
