Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting making sure my string is [a-z] only Post 302310212 by colemar on Friday 24th of April 2009 05:13:14 AM

Code:
if [[ $VAR = *([a-z]) ]]; then
  echo "yes its fine"
else
  echo "nope"
fi

*([a-z]) allows empty string. If an empty string is not fine, then use +([a-z]).
