KShell regular expresion
Hi,

I would like to know if the parameter i am passing to a shell script is contain
the following charachter : ASM.
I belive that i should use regular expresion here.
Can one help ?

Bellow is the "if statment" i need to fix with the reg exp:

if [ ${SID} != '+ASM' ]; then
#echo "IT IS AN RDBMS INSTANCE TYPE"
fi
Thanks

Code:
SID="ASM"

TX5XN:/home/brad>[[ ${SID} == +("ASM") ]] && echo yes
yes
TX5XN:/home/brad>[[ ${SID} == "ASM" ]] && echo yes   
yes
TX5XN:/home/brad>[[ ${SID} == ASM ]] && echo yes  
yes

What is the + for in your if-statement?

Code:
$ SID=someASMtext
$ [[ "$SID" = *ASM* ]] && echo yes
yes

@OP: Your statement is correct, but you need to uncomment the echo command otherwise it will not work (there needs to be some kind of command, or you can use : instead (NOP)). It is best to use quotes around ${SID} so that the test won't break when SID is empty.
Code:
SID="+ASM"

Code:
if [ "${SID}" != '+ASM' ]; then
  echo "IT IS AN RDBMS INSTANCE TYPE"
fi

Code:
if [ "${SID}" = '+ASM' ]; then
  echo "IT IS AN ASM INSTANCE TYPE"
else

Assuming ksh93 ....
Code:
SID="+ASM"

if [[ $SID == "+ASM" ]]
then
    echo "Yes"
fi
