Re: "==" operand not found


Nitin,

You're most likely accustomed on your Linux system to "/bin/sh" being BASH. On Cygwinm /bin/sh is ASH, and it is far more minimal in its implementation of the POSIX shell standard, and does not provide "==" as an equivalent for "=" in the "test" (a.k.a. "[") built-in.

Hi,
following script runs fine on linux, but not on cygwin. Please let me know equivalent of "==" on cygwin.

Thanks,
Nitin

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" == "1" ]; then
echo Hello World
fi
