bash string compare to multiple correct values

Question

i have the following piece of bashscript:

function get_cms {
    echo \"input cms name\"
    read cms
    cms=${cms,,}
    if [ \"$cms\" != \"wordpress\" &am         


        

Answer 1

If the main intent is to check whether the supplied value is not found in a list, maybe you can use the extended regular expression matching built in BASH via the "equal tilde" operator (see also this answer):

if ! [[ "$cms" =~ ^(wordpress|meganto|typo3)$ ]]; then get_cms ; fi
