GNU expr seems to handle this ok: $ expr 2.2 '>' 2.1 1 $ expr 2.0 '>' 2.1 0 but POSIX seems to mention only integers and string comparison (though if all are of the form "x.y", string comparison works). I have no idea how portable this is. -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
