I know you said this was solved a different way. But anyways ...
Go back in the archives a couple weeks ago.
A single equal (=) is correct. See the test(1) man page.
Set a variable to your value first.
Then do something like:
value=`echo $i | awk '{print substr($i,6,6)}'`
if [ "x${value}" = "xSTART" ] ; then
(Notice 6,6 above also.)
