If I do, in bash-3.1: $ V="alphabet" $ [[ $V == alphabet ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V == "alphabet" ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V == 'alphabet' ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V =~ alphabet ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V =~ "alphabet" ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V =~ 'alphabet' ]] && echo yes yes $ yet if I try the same in 3.2: $ V="alphabet" $ [[ $V == alphabet ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V == "alphabet" ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V == 'alphabet' ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V =~ alphabet ]] && echo yes yes $ [[ $V =~ "alphabet" ]] && echo yes $ [[ $V =~ 'alphabet' ]] && echo yes $ which to me looks like the two operators are not treating quotes the same way. -- Kevin F.
