Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Cannot get terminal application to launch with a graphical launcher when successful in terminal Post 302966630 by Huitzilopochtli on Monday 15th of February 2016 02:43:43 AM

Thank you very much for your time and knowledge, the syntax error of the test statements were the problem. I'm just curious, what is the difference between:

Code:
[[ $variable == A ]]

and

Code:
[ $variable = A ]

I was taught to do the first when I first started to write scripting, and it's never given me any problems until this, which has now been fixed.

Also, using the "case" statement in this really made it way better. And I had never figured out how to properly use it until I saw what you wrote, so again, thank you. Showing me all of this has really improved my script and has given me more knowledge to equip me to write better scripts.
