Hi,
I have recently downloaded new cygwin. I am getting incorrect results when I 
run simple shell script using bash. The same shell script runs fine with old 
cygwin bash.

Your help is really appreciated.

thanks,

Nrusinh



The script is as follows

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

myfunc()

{

local item=$1

shift 1

local list=" $* "

echo "item is"

echo $item

echo "list is"

echo $list

if [ "${item}" = "${list}" ] || [ "${list#"* ${item} *"}" != "${list}" ] || 
[

"${list#"${item} "}" != "${list}" ] || [ "${list%" ${item}"}" != "${list}" ]

then

echo "found"

else

echo "not found"

fi

}

myfunc CECA OTA OEA CECA
