I think that my question is actually about the single [ or double [[ construct.
What is the difference and when can I use one or the other?
Thanks!

I'm new to scripting and I need help with a bourn shell script. What i'm trying to do is a test condition where "if the time is within 2 hours, it's true" and so on.
The time is in the following format

Hi there,
When I try to do a condition on test:
$ str1=abcd
$ test $str1
$ echo $?
0
Is there anyway to display the answer to be 'TRUE' or 'YES'? rather than 0?
If so, how can I do it without using awk or sed. (2 Replies)

Description
The and functions return trigonometric functions of radian arguments x for double data types.
The and functions return trigonometric functions for float data types.
The and functions return the arc sine in the range -pi/2 to pi/2 for double and float data types, respectively.
The and functions return the arc cosine in the range 0 to pi for double and float data types, respectively.
The and functions return the arc tangent in the range -pi/2 to pi/2 for double and float data types, respectively.
The and functions return the arc tangent of y/x in the range -pi to using the signs of both arguments to determine the quadrant of the
return value for double and float data types, respectively.
Error (due to roundoff)
When P stands for the number stored in the computer in place of pi = 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 ... . and "trig" stands for one of
"sin", "cos" or "tan", then the expression "trig(x)" in a program actually produces an approximation to trig(x*pi/P), and "atrig(x)"
approximates (P/pi)*atrig(x). The approximations are close.
P differs from pi by a fraction of an ulp; the difference is apparent only if the argument x is huge, and even then the difference is
likely to be swamped by the uncertainty in x. Every trigonometric identity that does not involve pi explicitly is satisfied equally well
regardless of whether P = pi. For example, sin(x)**2+cos(x)**2 = 1 and sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) to within a few ulps regardless of how big
x is. Therefore, the difference between P and pi is unlikely to effect scientific and engineering computations.
Return Values
All the double functions return NaN if NaN is passed in.
If |x| > 1 then (x) and (x) will return the default quiet NaN.
The function defines (0,0) = NaN.
