Check if string length is zero
$ [[ -n ${string} ]]
try on your machine
The command [[ -n ${string} ]]
is a conditional statement used in shell scripting. Here, [[
is a shell keyword used to evaluate conditions, -n
is an operator used to check if a string is non-empty, and ${string}
represents the variable you want to check. In this command, the condition -n ${string}
is checking whether the variable string
is non-empty. If the string is indeed non-empty, the command will return a true value or exit status 0. If the string is empty, the command will return a false value or a non-zero exit status. For example, consider the following script: ```bash
!/bin/bash string="Hello, world!" if [[ -n ${string} ]]; then
echo "The string is non-empty"
else
echo "The string is empty"
fi
`` In this script, if the variable
string` is non-empty (as it is in this case), it will display "The string is non-empty".

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
