Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Regular expression, seemingly simple but Post 302776989 by rbatte1 on Thursday 7th of March 2013 08:23:50 AM

Try it without the open bracket.

The format of a case statement (in ksh at least) is:

Code:
case $var in
   match1) Action ;;
   match2) Action ;;
   *)   Action ;;
esac

I hope that this helps.
