Manuel, do you mind if we switch over to this method of string
comparisons in jhalfs? David's method is nice, but the syntax Seth
suggests is easier to read and doesn't result in forks. Also it doesn't
require a specific string format.
For example:
'if [ ${i:4:11} = "bootscripts" -o ${i:4:6} = "kernel" ] ; then
do something
else
do something else
fi'
becomes:
'case $i in
*bootscripts* | *kernel*)
do something
;;
*)
do something else
;;
esac'
Can't think why I didn't think of this before, seeing that jhalfs' input
parser already uses the case syntax...
Oh well.
