Alright, this is a really simple little thing but it's gotten to the point where I've exhausted 2-3 hours trying to find out why this isn't working and have gotten nowhere.
I'm trying to make Bash/Shell-Script program, and at one point in it, I want to check the contents of an array of strings to see if the string is blank. My code is as follows:
#Display any words the user corrected, and what he/she corrected it with (ignore blank corrections)
printf "\n\n" "MISPELLED / CORRECTIONS"
for (( i=0; i<${#words[*]}; i++)); do
if [!"${corrections[$i]}"=""]; then //this is line 25
printf "\n ${words[$i]} ${corrections[$i]}"
fi
done
I'm not positive if the way I used the ! operator was legal, but with or without it, I get the run-time error:
./test: line 25: [=]: command not found
I can post the rest of the code if need be, though I'm mostly confident that the "corrections" array is properly filled with strings.
