macOS Bash Script if statement

[jrock2004]

The first part of the if statement is always coming true and it should not. If I run the wirelessStatus command in the terminal nothing comes up since wireless is enabled. What am I missing here? Thanks

wirelessSsid=`/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I | grep -w 'SSID' | awk '{print $2}'`
wirelessStatus=`/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I | grep -w 'AirPort' | awk '{print $2}'`
statusText='Off'

if [ $wirelessStatus=$statusText ]; then
    echo "Wireless SSID: Disabled"
else
    echo Wireless SSID: $wirelessSsid
fi

Try

if [ "$wirelessStatus" = "$statusText" ]; then

This seems to work when I do it:

bash-3.2$ test1=`/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I | grep -w 'AirPort' | awk '{print $2}'`
bash-3.2$ echo $test1

bash-3.2$ if [ "$test1" = "$test2" ]; then echo "OK"; fi
bash-3.2$ test1=`/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -I | grep -w 'AirPort' | awk '{print $2}'`
bash-3.2$ echo $test1
Off
bash-3.2$ if [ "$test1" = "$test2" ]; then echo "OK"; fi
OK

That did the trick. Thank you
