How do I ignore one character in a case statement? PLEASE HELP!
Hello, I am new to this forums. I need help with shell, and ksh in particular. I have a case statement that does something if -k. So it looks like:
case $arg in
-k) PUT=y, SEND=1
Thats all good and dandy. But now I want to change it where whether or not the user puts -k or not, it will do PUT=y, SEND=1. So pretty much, it has to ignore -k. How can I do that? If I want to put an or statement such as -k|"") PUT=y, SEND=1 how come that doesn't work? Please help!
Thank you very much in advance!
