Cutting string inside if

I was trying the below statement
Code:
        if [ "${FXML_line:1129:1}" = "S" -o "${FXML_line:1129:1}" = "H" ]

It is working fine if I run it in a test file.
but not working, when I am trying in my actual script.
Error:
Code:
 
: "${FXML_line:1129:1}": bad substitution

Thanks in advance Smilie

PS: Above if block I have a while loop which is reading a file into FXML_line but while reading that file, it doesn't read <tab>
fo example if the line in the file is like "<tab>;<tab>;abcdefgh;123456" then it is reading "; ;abcdefgh;123456". What is the reason behind this behavior and how can I overcome this.
