Use single =
put double quotes around $_CHAR

Thanks, this works alone but when I combine it with the second condition it doesn't return true when it encounters a star:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
_CHAR="*"
      if [ $_CHAR -eq $_CHAR 2>/dev/null -o "$_CHAR" = "*" ]; then
        echo STAR
      fi
 
Proc_m2_s1$ ./test2.sh
Proc_m2_s1$

I do not know what you are are trying to accomplish, but try this:
Code:
if [ "$_CHAR" -eq "$_CHAR" ] 2>/dev/null || [ "$_CHAR" = "*" ]; then

Yes, this worked, thanks a lot! Returns true for both digits and star
