Date aritematic
Hi,

Is there a way to write a shell script that does the following.

Calculate the difference between two dates in format
YYYY.MM.DD HH:MI:SS,sss.
The output must be in Milliseconds.

Date1 = 2007.04.16 10:54:19,428
Date2 = 2007.04.16 10:54:20,815

Date2 - Date1 = X milliseconds.

best regards,
Spring_buck
