Differences in BASH and ASH shells regarding if command?
Guys
I now have a script that's working in a BASH environment, however one line doesn't appear to be working on an embedded device that has a busybox therefore ASH shell. I've googled but there's very little I can find regarding the ASH shell.
In BASH the following line works...
The line is looking for the $QUERYVALUE to appear anywhere in the list of entries in $TARGETLIST and if it does it executes blah blah blah.
However in busybox the command just doesn't work (i.e. it doesn't detect if the $QUERYVALUE is in the $TARGETLIST) and doesn't throw an error.

time::duration::parse
Time::Duration::Parse(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Time::Duration::Parse(3pm)NAME
Time::Duration::Parse - Parse string that represents time duration
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Duration::Parse;
my $seconds = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds"); # 123
DESCRIPTION
Time::Duration::Parse is a module to parse human readable duration strings like 2 minutes and 3 seconds to seconds.
It does the opposite of duration_exact function in Time::Duration and is roundtrip safe. So, the following is always true.
use Time::Duration::Parse;
use Time::Duration;
my $seconds = int rand 100000;
is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
FUNCTIONS
parse_duration
$seconds = parse_duration($string);
Parses duration string and returns seconds. When it encounters an error in a given string, it dies an exception saying "Unknown
timespec: blah blah blah". This function is exported by default.
