Please use CODE tags when displaying sample input, output, and code samples.
This can all be done with standard variable expansions without needing to invoke utilities that aren't built into the shell:
You said run the program if FCST appears in $runbatch. If you meant if FCST appears as the 1st four characters in $runbatch, change "${runbatch#*FCST}" to "${runbatch#FCST}".
Note that spaces around [ and ] are crucial and shell variable names are case sensitive.

I need to cut the last seven characters of a variable length variable. The variable may be 7 characters or 70. I need to always be able to grab the last 7 characters. I looked at the cut command but it always seems to want to start at the beginning of a line, not the end and count backwards.

If ${f:95:10} counts from the left, what would... (2 Replies)
