AIX Grep For Changing Value

X slash X · 01-07-2008, 07:16 AM

What Command Do I Need To Use To grep For A Changing Value Without Having To Change My Command. eg LINE6=XXX1XXX, For Which "1" = "2" The Following Day: LINE6=XXX2XXX And The Following Day "2" = "3": LINE6=XXX3XXX And So On. My Grep Result Should Show 1 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday and 3 on Wednessday.

i think you are thinking too much about it & it making it over complicated

for a date variable, you only need one variable e.g.

#define variables
&date &$day
#day code
if $date = "1" then $day = "Monday" else
fi

if $date = "2" then $day = "Tuesday" else
fi

if $date = "3" then $day = "Wednesday" else

does that make sense ?

i'm actually no good at scripting, but you get the idea, i hope
