echo "length is ${#my_string}"

Using expr

str="my string"
length=$(expr length "$str")
echo "Length of my string is $length"

Using awk

echo "my string" | awk '{print length}'

Using wc

length=$(echo -n "my string" | wc -m)
echo "Length of my string is $length"
字串比對

Using wildcards

#!/bin/bash

STR='GNU/Linux is an operating system'
SUB='Linux'
if [[ "$STR" == *"$SUB"* ]]; then
  echo "It's there."
fi

Using case

#!/bin/bash

STR='GNU/Linux is an operating system'
SUB='Linux'

case $STR in

  *"$SUB"*)
    echo -n "It's there."
    ;;
esac

Using Regex

#!/bin/bash

STR='GNU/Linux is an operating system'
SUB='Linux'

if [[ "$STR" =~ .*"$SUB".* ]]; then
  echo "It's there."
fi

Using Grep

#!/bin/bash

STR='GNU/Linux is an operating system'
SUB='Linux'

if grep -q "$SUB" <<< "$STR"; then
  echo "It's there"
fi
