Assist req'd with Mingw script.

[David Wall]

This is 'kinda' confusing me - I'm trying to run one of two options depending on the content of a variable previously set up via export.
I'll display the script and then display the result - which is confusing me since it 'appears' the variable is passing the two different if tests - despite it only being valid for one of them.

The script: called Mk

export BV="V"
echo $BV
if [ "$BV"="B" ]
then
echo Found BDB
fi
if [ "$BV"="V" ]
then 
echo Found VBI
fi

The results:

$ mk
V
Found BDB
Found VBI

What am I doing wrong ??.

TIA - Thanks in anticipation.

Not sure, but I suppose since there is no spaces between the equals signs in the if statement, then it perceives it as a true type of Boolean?
Try it with spaces on before and after the = sign in the if statement.

Thank you Mickey - got it in 1 - much appreciated.
I'd already switched the test to a case statement but the if looks better I think.

Have a beer on me.
