Hi all,

Could someone tell me why the piece of bash script below is being
rejected as being erroneous on cygwin but works fine on other bash's
ie: linux and openbsd?

my current version of bash is update (2.05b).


#!/bin/bash

if [ `uname -s | grep -c 'CYGWIN'` -eq "1" ]; then
printf "Target platform is Win32 via CYGWIN\n";
else
printf "Target platform is NOT Win32 via CYGWIN\n";
fi



error message:
bash-2.05b$ ./test.sh
./test.sh: line 3: [: too many arguments
Target platform is NOT Win32 via CYGWIN
bash-2.05b$




Regards



Arash Partow
