I could be missing something, but: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
[[ $'\nwombat' =~ $'wombat' ]] && \ |
| 18 |
echo "These compare as equal, with or without the leading \n" |
| 19 |

They do not compare as equal with the == operator or the = operator. You |
| 21 |
probably want the = operator, because the == operator _does_ interpret |
| 22 |
the RHS as a glob. The = operator just uses simple string comparison, |
| 23 |
without interpreting anything. |

I am curious about why the space was included at the end of the in the |
| 28 |
expression: |

Does get_mounts add a space to the end of its output? |
