Help--Using wildcards in string comparison
Hi,

I want to compare two strings using wild cards.

In the file run_test i have

if [ "$1" = "*default*" ] ; then
cp ../stimulus/default_value.in ../log/$1.log
fi

When I issue the command run_test i2c_default_test in the command line, the cp command is not executed.
Whereas if i give the following code, the cp command gets ececuted.

if [ "$1" = "i2c_default_test" ] ; then
cp ../stimulus/default_value.in ../log/$1.log
fi

There are many tests with the "default" name. Hence i dont want to add if statement for every test. Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong in using the wild card comparison operator "*"

Thanks,
Deepa

	      Runs pcscd in the foreground and sends log messages to stderr instead of syslog(3).

       -d, --debug
	      use the lowest log level. Any log message of this level or above will be sent to stderr or syslog(3) depending on the use of --fore-

DESCRIPTION

       pcscd is the daemon program for pcsc-lite. It is a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers and smart cards
       and cryptographic tokens that are connected to the system.

       It allows applications to access smart cards and readers using the winscard API but without knowing details of the card or reader.

       pcscd coordinates the loading of drivers for card readers.

SERIAL SMART CARD READER DRIVERS

       Smart card reader drivers are placed in the /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers directory. Each driver is simply an .so file.	pcscd locates  the  driver
       using  the  /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf  file.   See	the  reader.conf(5)  manual  page  for more information.  Drivers are available at
       http://www.musclecard.com/drivers.html.

USB SMART CARD READER DRIVERS

       USB smart card reader drivers  are  located  in	/usr/lib/pcsc/drivers  directory  as  a  bundle.  You  shall  not  add	a  USB	driver	in
       /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file.

FILES

       /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf : Reader configuration file

       /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.pid : process id of the running pcscd

       /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers : directory containing bundles for USB drivers

SEE ALSO

       bundleTool(8), reader.conf(5), syslog(3)
