Note that if you use the Korn shell's built-in test ( [[ ]] ) instead of the test command, you don't need to quote the variable in order for test to "see" that value:
Output:
However, it's probably a good habit to quote it anyway in case you use another shell that does not work this way. Plus, it may help the person behind you maintaining your code. Actually, that's a good tip, while coding keep in mind the poor guy after you that has to maintain your code. :-) The more time someone has to spend figuring out your tricky code, the more expensive that program has become to maintain. Make it clear and use comments assuming the person behind you is less experienced.
