Correct...  The length of the string you're comparing it to...

So, some examples:

------------
if [ ${i: -5} = "groff" ] ; then {do something} ; fi

if [ ${i: -4} = "bash" ] ; then {do something} ; fi

if [ ${i: -6} = "expect" ] ; then {do something} ; fi

if [ ${i: -3} = "tcl" ] ; then {do something} ; fi
------------

I don't know if these examples are all correct names, but it gives you the
general idea.  :)
