If variable equals string help
Hi All,
Trying to get my bash script if statement to work however my if variable equals xxx statement doesnt appear to work, could anyone shed some light.

Code:
./script $password &> output
INCORRECTPASS=`grep "Permission denied, please try again." output`
        echo "$INCORRECTPASS"
        if [[ $INCORRECTPASS == "Permission denied, please try again." ]]; then
        echo "Incorrect Password"
fi

As you can see i have put in an echo to print the variable set and this prints sucessfully so I know for sure the variable exists.

Thanks
