Having problem with if statement
Could someone help me out with this if statement? It's supposed to get a person's website, but it isn't working when I run it.
website=""
echo "Would you like to enter a website? Enter Yes/No"
read choice
if ["$choice" == "Yes"]
then
while ["$website" == ""]
do
echo "Please enter a website:";
read website;
done
else
website="None"
fi

libgphoto2_port
LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3) The gPhoto2 Reference (the man LIBGPHOTO2_PORT(3)
NAME
libgphoto2_port - cross-platform port access library
SYNOPSIS
#include <gphoto2/gphoto2_port.h>
DESCRIPTION
The libgphoto2_port library was written to provide libgphoto2(3) with a generic way of accessing ports. In this function, libgphoto2_port
is the successor of the libgpio library.
Currently, libgphoto2_port supports serial (RS-232) and USB connections, the latter requiring libusb to be installed.
The autogenerated API docs will be added here in the future.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
IOLIBS If set, defines the directory where the libgphoto2_port library looks for its I/O drivers (iolibs). You only need to set this on
OS/2 systems and broken/test installations.
LD_DEBUG
Set this to all to receive lots of debug information regarding library loading on ld based systems.
USB_DEBUG
If set, defines the numeric debug level with which the libusb library will print messages. In order to get some debug output, set it
to 1.
