Problem w. case structure
Hello,
I am having a problem setting a range of numbers for the "case" structure.
I can use [a-z] with no problems, but
when I use [0-60] it doesn't work???
Does the case struture allow numeric ranges?
eg:
echo -e "enter number between 0 and 60: \c"
read $answer
case $answer in
[0-60] ) echo "number between 0 and 60" ;;
esac
Thanks,
Joe
