Compare a string using sh shell

Solution 1:

You should use the = operator for string comparison:

Sourcesystem="ABC"

if [ "$Sourcesystem" = "XYZ" ]; then 
    echo "Sourcesystem Matched" 
else
    echo "Sourcesystem is NOT Matched $Sourcesystem"  
fi;

man test says that you use -z to match for empty strings.

Solution 2:

-eq is used to compare integers. Use = instead.

Solution 3:

eq is used to compare integers use equal '=' instead , example:

if [ 'AAA' = 'ABC' ];
then 
    echo "the same" 
else 
    echo "not the same"
fi

good luck
