# Partial String Matching In Bash Scripts
|
|
|
|
To compare two strings in a bash script, you will have a snippet of code
|
|
similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
if [[ $(pwd) == "/path/to/current/directory" ]]
|
|
then
|
|
echo "You are in that directory";
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may only want to do a partial string match. For this, you can use the
|
|
`*` wildcard symbol.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
if [[ $(pwd) == *"directory"* ]]
|
|
then
|
|
echo "You are in that directory";
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
