Hi there, probably a really simple question to answer but i cant seem to find it

can I use a logical AND (&&) within a CASE statement ie (ps this is useless syntax but youll get the idea

Code:

                       case "$var1","$var2" in

                            'Billy' && 'Bobby')
                                
                                echo "do some stuff"
                             ;;
                            
                            'Peter' && 'Bobby')
                                
                                echo "do some other stuff"
                             ;;
                            
                        esac

You can do somthing like this:

Code:

case "$var1,$var2" in
   Billy,Bobby)
      echo "do some stuff"
      ;;
   Peter,Bobby)
      echo "do some other stuff"
      ;;
esac
