Hello,

I need some help in comparing 2 nos. in a unix shell.

1) e.g var1="7.04.03"
   and var2="7.05"

I want to test:-

if [ "$var2" > "$var1" ];then
   then $var2 version is greater than $var1"
fi

2) 2nd condition is :-

var1="7.04.03"
var2="7.04.02"

I want to test:-
if [ "$var1" > "$var2" ];then
   then $var1 version is greater than $var2"
fi

Can some one send me a code?

How can I do the above in shell? Can you please help me, a seemingly simple one!
