Problem with expression within ksh script.

fg_1 — Wed, 21 Aug 2002 19:04:57 GMT

Hello all

I have been beating myself against the wall with this script of mine for several days. I feel as though i am in the home stretch but I need some help on a few things with it.

1) It seems as though the YDATE variable near the top of the script is not functioning at all by the error i am getting from the expr, any clues there. I have to leave the DATE variable in the current format to match the date fields in my output file.

2) It also seems as though my HTML is not producing a line by line report but more rather a one line report all the way across the screen. If you take the output file attached here and open it with IE you will see what i am having as output. I need to make it so it reports each line as a new line on the report.

TY in advance.

Since $DATE is in the format MM/DD/YY, then you can't use it in any calculations.

DATE=`date +%m/%d/%Y`
YDATE=`expr $DATE - 1`

If you want to compute yesterdays date, then
look into a routine called "caljd.sh". It is a handy script for doing date computations.

Do a search within the forum and you should be able to find it.

Good Luck.

You will need a different solution for YDATE. expr does integer arithmetic, not date arithmetic. So expr does not know how to do:

08/21/2002 - 1

Any chance you can use the caljd.sh script?

I'll address your YDATE problem.

Let's say that DATE = "08/20/2002". Just what is "08/20/2002" - 1? I suupose that you really want yesterday's date in that format.

Look for a thread "Yesterday's Date" that was posted yesterday and today in this Forum.
The basic idea is this
YDATE=$(caljd.sh -S "/") $(caljd.sh -p 1))

Invoke caljd.sh -u for a full usage.

You can find caljd.sh in the mentioned thread.

For the HTML, could you put a couple of

in the tables?

A. Clay Stephenson — Wed, 21 Aug 2002 19:23:08 GMT

Oops, I meant
YDATE=$(caljd.sh -S "/" $(caljd.sh -p 1))

I may be blind but I can't find your tag.

Rodney Hills — Wed, 21 Aug 2002 19:42:04 GMT

Frank,

For HTML code, their has to be a balance of tags. Here is a sample template showing the tags with their corresponding end-tags.

__
____Your Title here

...	...

Ignore the "_", I had those in for indentation purposes only. As you can see has a at the end, has a

at the third line from the bottom. Make sure your code follows the structure for it do display correctly. You may want to check out-

For help with using HTML codes.

Good Luck

Frank,

Sorry, but I don't see an attachment???? Is it there? I have mozilla 1.1 and IE 6+ and neither see it.

In the BEGIN paragraph, the line:

print "jobidjobtypeclientclassscheduleserverstatusstarted
needs to have ;

The date stuff I think the others have nailed.

harry d brown jr — Wed, 21 Aug 2002 22:54:20 GMT

some of those long lines are being truncated by the forum server.

Can you post the script as an attachment?? Maybe in another thread???

You want something like

YEAR=`date +%Y`
DDMM=`date +%d/%m/`
YEAR=$(( $YEAR - 1 ))
YDATE="$DDMM$YEAR"

For the HTML output try opening it with Amaya available
from http://www.w3c.org. It should identify your HTML
problem.

You could also upload the file to the validator at the same
site.

I Hope, The following small script will help you out to solve the date problem.

#Without Mints.
DATE=`date +%x` # Today's Date
YDATE=`TZ=CST+24 date +%x` # Yesterday's Date
echo "Today's Date :$DATE"
echo "Yesterday's Date :$YDATE"

#With Mints.
DATE=`date +%x" "%X` # Today's Date
YDATE=`TZ=CST+24 date +%x`" "`date +%X` # Yesterday's Date
echo "Today's Date :$DATE"
echo "Yesterday's Date :$YDATE"

Frank,

For your date problem. Look no further but the attached script date2julian is extremly handy and it even knows when its eap year. So write your script to use this convertor and forget about it.

===================
here is how to use it
========================
BIN=/usr/local/bin
DT=`date +%D`
echo "$DT\nq" | $BIN/logDate2julian | awk '{print $9}' | read DATE
echo "$DT" | sed "s/\// /gp" | read M D Y # todays date
(( YESTERDAY= $DATE - 1 ))
echo "$YESTERDAY\nq\n" | $BIN/logDate2julian | awk '{print $7}' | read ETAD
echo "$ETAD" | sed "s/\// /gp" | read MM DD YY # yesterdays date

=========================
you can step back any amount of day you desire.

enjoy
Donny
