I don't understand why comparing strings is not working here.:

while IFS=, read -r ELMS_SIZE ELMS_NAME ELMS_ENV ELMS_DB
do

if [ "${ELMS_DB}" = "NOMATCH" ]; then
 echo "done"
fi

done < <(tac ${CSM_DATA_DIR}/test.csv)

exit

ELMS_DBELMS_DB has string value of NOMATCHNOMATCH, example of output for test.csv

12 am_pltconfig9 unknown NOMATCH
12 am_pltconfig8 unknown NOMATCH
12 am_pltconfig7 unknown NOMATCH
12 am_pltconfig6 unknown NOMATCH

thanks
