Fairly new to bash scripting and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one. Lets say I have 2 variables user and db db='username_blah' user='username' how would I compare those 2 saying if user=beginning of db(everything before the_) ; then code here fi sometimes I'l have db be somethin_blah and username will be 'something' (minus the last letter or letters) how would I do the same thing there hope I was clear enough help would be appreciated Tombstone aka Tommy two cups
