[PLUG] Bash matching...

[Russell Johnson]

I have working scripts with examples of this, so I know something like this can be done... 

I have the following line in a bash script:

if [[ "${hn}" =~ *"rds"* ]]; then

The idea being that if ${hn} contains the literal rds, it should match...

It's not working. i.e., when I run the script with -x, it doesn't match the string "something.rds.somethingelse"

Does someone see what I'm missing here?
