i tried sending this to the newbie list but i guess its still hasn't
been brought back to life.
i am trying to write a short script that asks the user a yes or no
question. if he/she input y or Y, i want to continue, if not, i want
to exit. i have the following code:
read choice
if [ $choice != 'y' -a $choice != 'Y' ]; then
exit 0
fi
it works except in the case that the user just hits the enter key. if
they do, it outputs:
line 24: [: too many arguments
and then continues execution. i would appreciate any help with my
syntax. thanks!
