I have a script where I am trying to use the conditional operator.
Apparently I am confused as it always evaluates false. These are the
relevant lines from the script. The scalar $initial will either be "" or "A".
Can someone help me to understand what I clearly don't.
Input:
999998,"Lisa","A","Testing"
999999,"ftest","","ltest, Jr."
Relevant script lines:
$initial ?
$gecos = "$first $initial $last, $sid, SIR Fall 2007":
$gecos = "$first $last, $sid, SIR Fall 2007";
Output is :
ltesting::::::Lisa Testing, 999998, SIR Fall 2007,::/bin/sh/:
fltestjr::::::ftest ltest Jr., 999999, SIR Fall 2007,::/bin/sh/:
I have validated that the value of $initial is correct, it equals A in the
first instance and "" in the second instance.
