Hi,

I'm wondering why I keep seeing the 

if test "xSTRING1" = "xSTRING2"; then 
else
fi

construction when you want to compare the strings STRING1 and STRING2.
The thing that I'm wondering about is the "x" in front of the two
strings.

Probably something entirely fundamental that I just forgot...

Thanks,
  jules
