Hi.
I'm new to this forum, my English perhaps is not so good, but here is my question:
In bash you can use [[ ]] for tests, and how I understand it the variable names should be expanded automatically. So this should give "yes":
Code:
xx=hello
$ [[ xx == hello ]] && echo yes || echo no
no # not giving "yes"
These two are however working:
Code:
$ [[ $xx == hello ]] && echo yes || echo no
yes # correct
# and
nn=77
$ [[ nn -eq 77 ]] && echo yes || echo no
yes # correct
Why isn't the variable expansion working for strings? Or I missed something?
Hi,
I was trying to use this particular option of grep
grep -r 'Search_pattern' *
This command should ideally search all the occurrences of Search_pattern recursively within a directory & print it on shell prompt. But this command is not doing what is expected. It just displays nothin!
