“Command not found” when attempting integer equality in bash

Question

Ok, this is probably going to be ultra obvious to anyone that has spent more time with bash than I have.

I\'m trying to run this code:

#!/bin/bash

i         


        

Answer 1

yep eq is used only for arithmetic comparaisons.

for string comparison you have to use =

#!/bin/bash

if [ "1" = "2" ] 
then
    echo "True"
else
    echo "False"
fi

plus you need some space around the brackets.
