Issue with String Comparison (if)
Hi,
I was trying to do a string comparison using if. However, the comparison result is getting treated as a executable statement. I'm not sure where I'm making the mistake!
$ typeset TEST_VAR='YUP'
$ if [$TEST_VAR='YUP']; then echo 'Got It!'; fi;
ksh: [YUP=YUP]: not found.
Any help is appreciated!
