if $1 = "123x456", how can I test for the non-numeric character 'x' in that string. I've tried expr with "" but it did not find the x. Any ideas? Can this perhaps be done with sed?
Thanks. (2 Replies)

Hi,
Anyone can help using SED searches a character string for a specified delimiter character, and returns a leading or trailing space/blank.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
