test rrr \> "$x" or test rrr ">" "$x" However, it should be noted that ">" as a string comparison operator in the test command is an extension, and not portable. As such, it might be better to use [[ so that you can *plainly see* that the code is using bashisms, and is not sh-compatible. [[ rrr > "$x" ]] This gives you the benefit of not needing to quote the > operator, as well as the visual clue about non-portability.
