Hi All,

Please help me out in this... I am new to scripting

How to compare two strings by using the same string in single loop,
I am using ksh

for ex:see the code snippet below
I am writing in java,
Can u guys tell me that in scripting

if ("string1"=="string2" || "string1"=="string3")
{
//statements----
}
else
if("string2"="string3")
{
//statements
}

Thanks in advance.

in java (copied from the net, handy

):

Quote:

String s = "something", t = "maybe something else";
if (s == t) // Legal, but usually WRONG.
if (s.equals(t)) // RIGHT
if (s > t) // ILLEGAL
if (s.compareTo(t) > 0) // CORRECT>

in ksh :

Quote:

if [[ $foo = "bar" ]];then
# commands....
fi
