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. :) Dave -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
