Tru64 shell script

Dafnis Tejera — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 16:24:23 GMT

Hello to everybody !!!
I'm making a shell script and I have de difficult.

In a case statement I used:

case $REPLY in

[1-$var] ) list ;;

so, when $var is greater than 9 then patter [1-$var] ) is not replace how I like.

for example when $var=12

[1-12] ) patter is how [1-1] )

helme please

The range goes between 0 and 9, so, if you want to test a two digit number, you need something like:

[0-$var] ) list ;;

[0-9][0-$var] ) list ;;

In fact, the above is wrong, it should be:

[0-$var] ) list ;;

[0-9][0-9] ) list ;;

Anyway, you can use:

if [ $REPLY -ge 1 ] && [ $REPLY -le $var ]; then
echo "The value is in the range 1-12"
list
fi
