Hi all,
a=2007-05-10
b=2007-06-10
These are the two given dates and I need to compare.
The script should first compare years.If both are same or if a is lesser than b,it should print correct.If a is greater than b,then it should print error.Similarly for the dates(05 and 06).
No need to check for the months(10)

Jump to Postare you using ksh or bash? if so
set -A aArray `print "$a" | sed -e 's/-/ /'` set -A bArray `print "$b" | sed -e 's/-/ /'` # now ${aArray[0]} and ${bArray[0]} contain the year # and ${aArray[1]} and ${bArray[1]} contain the day # and ${aArray[2]} …

# now ${aArray[0]} and ${bArray[0]} contain the year
# and ${aArray[1]} and ${bArray[1]} contain the day
# and ${aArray[2]} and ${bArray[2]} contain the monthThe comparison parts you can do yourself.
I am new to this shell scripting..
Can you give me the comparision part also

At the top of this forum is a fixed post to a tutorial. Read through some of that, try something out, if it doesn't work post your code and I'll help, but I'll not do it for you.
a="2007-05-10"
b="2007-06-10"
awk -v a="$a" -v b="$b" 'BEGIN{
n=split(a,tmpa,"-")
m=split(b,tmpb,"-")
if ( ( tmpa[1] <= tmpb[1] ) && ( tmpa[2] <= tmpb[2] ) ){
print "correct"
}
else { print "not correct"}
}
