Just appreciate next solution example for your code implementation: S=finding if[[ "$S" == *ing ]]; then ...//some code run if string ends with 'ing' More generally: if[[ "string_to_check" == regex_patten ]]; then ...//some code
Use following structure: if [[ $digit =~ [0-9] ]]; then //run if a digit included in $digit string echo "$digit is a digit" else echo "oops" fi
