[SPOILERS] Command for checking solution doesn't work about clmystery HOT 5 CLOSED

1. What OS are you using?

2. What happens if you just run:

echo "[the answer]" | $(command -v md5 || command -v md5sum)

3. What happens if you just run:

grep -q "32cacbec4b918e2fd130fd68cf818ae5" solution && echo $?

1. Archlinux

felix@sun ~/gits/clmystery (git)-[master] % echo "[the answer]" | $(command -v md5 || command -v md5sum)
32CACBEC4B918E2FD130FD68CF818AE5  -

felix@sun ~/gits/clmystery (git)-[master] % grep -q "32cacbec4b918e2fd130fd68cf818ae5" solution && echo $?
0

The md5 from 2) is uppercase (because it was using md5, and not md5sum, which seem to differ in upper-/lowercase), and thus isn't matched by grep. Using grep -qif instead of grep -qf makes it work. Thanks for the quick answer! :)

Edit: see:

felix@sun ~/gits/clmystery (git)-[master] % echo "[the answer]" | md5sum -
32cacbec4b918e2fd130fd68cf818ae5  -
felix@sun ~/gits/clmystery (git)-[master] % echo "[the answer]" | md5 -

Ohhh interesting. I'll add the -i, thanks!

Also strange that md5sum is all uppercase for you, I tested this with m5sum on Ubuntu and it was lowercase!

Mhhm, my md5sum was also lowercase, it was the md5 that produced uppercase output (see my previous edit). But anyways, same thing :)
