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

Maybe you should better use a case for such lists:

case "$cms" in
  wordpress|meganto|typo3)
    do_your_else_case
    ;;
  *)
    do_your_then_case
    ;;
esac

I think for long such lists this is better readable.

If you still prefer the if you can do it with single brackets in two ways:

if [ "$cms" != wordpress -a "$cms" != meganto -a "$cms" != typo3 ]; then

or

if [ "$cms" != wordpress ] && [ "$cms" != meganto ] && [ "$cms" != typo3 ]; then
