do not know why this piece of code does not work
echo "enter input"
read input
if [ $input="abc" ]; then
echo the input is abc
else
echo the input is wrong
fi
thanks for the help
if [ "$input" = "abc" ]; then
The equals sign must be surrounded by spaces. $input must be in quotes to handle the case where there $input is empty.
now it works
thank you so much for the help
