Comparison in shellscripts.
This idea for a shellscript I have, is just beyond my reach of knowledge.
Basically I have a file that contains a list like so:
axis
heater
water
yast
The file is called mqm.list.
What I want to do is when the shellscript is run, it prompts the user to input data.
Say the person inputs:
axis fire water yast unibrow car truck
I want it to output, only what is on the mqm.list.
So in the example above, the output should be:
axis water yast
Because it matched the mqm.list.
I've tried a bunch of different things, but I'm not getting the concept down. Could someone help me please? Using a test like:
if [ $input = mqm.list ]
isn't working...
