Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Help! Yet another check element in array Question Post 302440956 by zaxxon on Thursday 29th of July 2010 03:18:28 AM

You could try
Code:
if [[ $i != *.ctl ]]

In bash it seems if you use double square brackets, that the wildcard is working. Single sq. brackets do not work - I guess test is a bit limited to the shell built-in:

Code:
$> VAR=12345.ctl
$> [ $VAR == *.ctl ] && echo found
$> [[ $VAR == *.ctl ]] && echo found
found

Oh and I didn't notice at first:

Checking $i will not help since it is just a counter for your array and will contain only a number, if I am correct.

Better check something like ${HDD_LIST_Array[$i]}

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
