It's pretty simple, in bash at least: $ export A=C B=d $ if [[ $A $B ]]; then echo $A is less than $B; fi C is less than d if you want to input them from the keyboard you can use 'read' and probably a whole lot of other ways too :) On 12/13/06, 5h4rk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm trying

If this really is a simple subbstitution, try using gawk, it will automatically handle the line input, and you can set the filed seperator to be the comma (FS=,) which will parse all teh fields for you. The shell is probabl;y not the best solution to this problem. Cheers Erich On Tue, 29 Aug
