thanks but it doesn't work for me :
# sh test.bash 'kljlkjlkA it should be KO and lkjljjlT KO'
test.bash[6]: "${INPUT:$(($LENGTH-1)):1}": bad substitution
i'm in ksh but in bash it's the same !
regards
Christian
-----Post Update-----
Thanks to help me :
i=kljlkjlkA
if [[ ${i: -1} == "A" ]]
then
echo "ending with A"
else
echo "no A at the end"
fi
=> i got :
# test.ksh
test.ksh: ${i: -1}: bad substitution
if [[ $i =~ A$ ]]
then
echo "ending with A"
else
echo "no A at the end"
fi
==> i got :
test.ksh
test.ksh: syntax error at line 1 : `=~' unexpected
regards
