How can I check for both uppercase Y and lowercase y

echo -e "Is this correct (y/n): \c "
read ans
if [ "$ans" = "y" ]
then

fi

thanks

Spose there's an easier way but I haven't found it (74 chars):
if [ "$ans" = "y" ] || [ "$ans" = "Y" ]; then echo "ok"; else echo "you made a boo boo"; fi

You could also use a simple case statement (72 chars):
case "$ans" in
y|Y)
echo "ok";;
*)
echo "you made a boo boo"
exit 1;;
esac
