This is my bad, I moved the thread from the Solaris forum, and didn't consider the OS when submitting my code.

I would use a case statement, in that case.

Code:
case "$var" in
  " ") echo got a space;;
  "N/A") echo got NA;;
  -[0-9]*) echo negative;;
  ...
esac

I replaced my only Solaris server, with Oracle on it, for a Red Hat one, so I can't test specifically in KSH on Solaris.
