## "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.
