if statements don't work if they follow a comment which contains single quote

[esromneb]

input .pow file (please ignore my horrible ../ relative path)

#!../../../../scripts/powscript

# check newly generated file's hash
# md5sum $output_sv_test

h1=$(cat $output_sv_test | tail -n +6 | md5sum)

if $h1 is "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e *-"
  echo "match"
else
  echo "blah"

output

Expected output (if I remove both comments on line 3/4)

It seems like a comment with a single single quote breaks the if, however a comment with two single quotes does not break the if.

Should definitely be fixed by #38, of which I should have another update by the end of this month. The parser already handles this, I just need to make if statements work.

[fcard]

There you go.

if [ "${h1}" = 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e *-' ]; then
echo 'match'
else
echo 'blah'
fi

I am still optimistic I can get this done by the end of the year; we'll see.

[esromneb]

wow this is great. I also submitted a pull request with a different fix
