bash test -n が常に true を返す場合の対処

Posted at

小ネタです。

test -n は文字列の長さが0 より 大きい場合にtrueを返します。

よって以下のコードは ZERO length を返すことが期待されます。

NO_STR=

if [ -n $NO_STR ]
then
    echo "NON ZERO length"
    return
fi
echo "ZERO length"

が結果としては、NON ZERO length が出力されます。
なぜ?

答えはこちら

結論としては、以下のようにダブルクォートで囲めばいいわけですな。

NO_STR=

if [ -n "$NO_STR" ]
then
    echo "NON ZERO length"
    return
fi
echo "ZERO length"

元のコードでは文字列が存在しない場合、 [ -n ] となり、これは常にtrueを返してしまうとのこと。
なるほどなー。
