Here's my test script:

echo "Yep"
else
echo "Nope"

That's the complete wrong way to use '[' !
I'm not sure what you mean here; if you mean it lacks readability then I agree with you.
You want something like:
WORD=`sed -ne 's/^.*\(icewm\).*$/\1/p' < /home.local/snert/.xinitrc`
but for readability, don't use back-ticks. Instead WORD=$(sed -ne 's/^.*\(icewm\).*$/\1/p' < /home.local/snert/.xinitrc)
which is more readable, allows you to span lines and even to nest (in moderation) while maintaining some semblance of clarity.
I think it's ours vs yours in baseball this evening.
