## "You need `\` before line feeds to break lines in `[ ]`.
### Problematic code:
```sh
[ "$filename" =
"$otherfile" ]
```
### Correct code:
```sh
[ "$filename" = \
"$otherfile" ]
```
### Rationale:
Bash/ksh `[[ ]]]` can include line breaks anywhere, but `[ ]` requires that you escape them. If you are writing a multi-line `[ .. ]` statement, make sure to include these escapes. If the `[ ]` is supposed to be on a single line, make sure the `]` is there.
### Exceptions:
None
