Yes, so? Your "real one" will be found also. If you think what I said
won't work, give a counterexample. Perhaps you don't want to nest two case
statements, one for "Produce Name:" and the other for the specific
products? It's not really needed, as the match strings could all start
with "Product Name:"*.
case $line in
"Product Name:"*)
case $line in
*"HP Compaq dc7700"*) echo "found $printername" ;;
esac ;;
esac
