Bash Question

[Rainer Dorsch <ml@bokomoko.de>]

Hi,

 

can anybody help to explain what is going on here ?

 

 

rd@mohot:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
rd@mohot:~$ if [ "abc" > "dec" ]; then echo bad; fi       
bad
rd@mohot:~$ if [ "abc" < "dec" ]; then echo good; fi
good
rd@mohot:~$

How can abc sort before and after dec at the same time?

 

Thanks

Rainer
