string1 == string2 string1 = string2 True if the strings are equal. = should be used with the test command for POSIX conformance. When used with the [[ command, this performs pattern matching as described above (Compound Com‐ mands). But it is a bashism. Better use a more lightweight and standard shell, /bin/sh, or switch directly to a more powerful one, like zsh. Regards, -- Nicolas George
