if ($check=~/no/ || $check=~/n/)
but the problem with this, is that it looks for any character and the if statement is true. So if I wanted to check for an argument "-help" or lets say a variable string that could be a file name. Then... (2 Replies)

I'm always concerned I might be abusing backticks within my scripts. A current script I'm writing has this for example:
stripscriptname=`echo $scriptname | sed 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/'`
stripsearch=`echo $searchpattern | tr -d ' ,/'`
Both of these variables are set inside the script (in fact,... (2 Replies)

Hi, I'm trying to do something like this: range= `expr `date '+%m'` - 1` and it does not work. How can I tell it to evaluate an expression within another expression evaluation?
