wildcards in "if then" statement
Hello,
I would like to use a simple "if then" test to check if an argument to a command begins with "http://" as follows:
if [[ $2 ==
http://* ]]; then
command
fi
but the wildcard just seems to be ignored, ie., it will only execute the command if the expression is strictly "http://" with nothing following it. I have tried enclosing the second expression with single and double quotes, and have tried using various wildcards such as ".", "?", ".*", etc. to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Allasso Travesser
