Hi Don...
"$aswer" ?
Code:
printf "Enter answer: "
while read answer
do      if [ "$answer" = "y" ] || [ "$answer" = "Y" ]
        then    printf "true: %s\n" \
                        'if [ "$answer" = "y" ] || "$answer" = "Y" ]'
        else    printf "false: %s\n" \
                        'if [ "$answer" = "y" ] || "$answer" = "Y" ]'

Cut-n-paste error I realise, but it threw me for a couple of minutes...

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tcl_StringMatch, Tcl_StringCaseMatch - test whether a string matches a pattern SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h> int Tcl_StringMatch(string, pattern) int Tcl_StringCaseMatch(string, pattern, nocase) ARGUMENTS
char *string (in) String to test. char *pattern (in) Pattern to match against string. May contain special characters from the set *?[]. int nocase (in) Specifies whether the match should be done case-sensitive(0) or case-insensitive(1). _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1. Otherwise Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm used for matching is the same algorithm used in the ``string match'' Tcl command and is similar to the algorithm used by the C-shell for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for details. | In Tcl_StringCaseMatch, the algorithm is the same, but you have the option to make the matching case-insensitive. If you choose this (by | passing nocase as 1), then the string and pattern are essentially matched in the lower case. KEYWORDS
match, pattern, string ATTRIBUTES
