Q:
Why are you using files?

what if you have multiple files meeting your request?
(str2 would be a file of all files satisfying... and so str3 a file of 1char lines...)

How do you expect
Code:
case "$str3" in

to work
as you have never used any variables...

strcoll - Locale based string comparison

SYNOPSIS
int strcoll (string $str1, string $str2) DESCRIPTION
Note that this comparison is case sensitive, and unlike strcmp(3) this function is not binary safe. strcoll(3) uses the current locale for doing the comparisons. If the current locale is C or POSIX, this function is equivalent to str- cmp(3). PARAMETERS
o $str1 - The first string. o $str2 - The second string. RETURN VALUES
Returns < 0 if $str1 is less than $str2; > 0 if $str1 is greater than $str2, and 0 if they are equal. CHANGELOG
+--------+------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+------------------------------------+ | 4.2.3 | | | | | | | This function now works on win32. | | | | +--------+------------------------------------+ SEE ALSO
preg_match(3), strcmp(3), strcasecmp(3), substr(3), stristr(3), strncasecmp(3), strncmp(3), strstr(3), setlocale(3). PHP Documentation Group STRCOLL(3)
