Full Discussion: Case statement in UNIX shell script

Could you write out the logical flow you are trying to achieve? It's all a bit confused and mixed up with which are variables and which are files. str3 is written to as a file and then you try to use it as a variable.

If you read in a variable fil and you are looking to test if it has a leading hyphen - then you can more simply do something like this:-

Code:
read "enter a file: "?fil
not_first="${fil#?}"              # Trim off first character from input
first="${fil%$notfirst}"          # Trim off all the other characters from input

case "$first" in.......


Does that help? If the statements don't make sense, then let me know and I will explain them.
