I am trying to write an IF Statement in Bash, but I am having issues. It
doesn't like the following format:

echo "yes or no?"
read T

if ["$T"="y"];
then
        echo "YES"
fi

.............. It also doesn't like the following alternatives:

if [$T="y"];
if ["$T"=="y"];
if [$T=="y"];
if "$T"="y";
if [["$T"="y"]];

etc..

It says: 
y=y: command not found

Ideas?
