I have another question related to my question posted yesterday
while [ "$engine_type" != "S" ] && [ "$engine_type" != "s" ] && [ "$engine_type" != "SR" ] && [ "$engine_type" != "sr" ] && [ "$engine_type" != "a" ] && [ "$engine_type" != "A" ]
is working fine
but how to short cut it say i mean the user can enter S or s A or a or Sr rS like that
writing everything in while makes it cumbersome
Is there any other way
Thanks in advance
