Error passing variable from bash to perl from bash script
Hi All,
I need to pass a variable to perl script from bash script, where in perl i am using if condition. Here is the cmd what i am using in perl
Code:
FROM_DATE="06/05/2008"
TO_DATE="07/05/2008"

"perl -ne ' print if ( $_ >="$FROM_DATE" && $_ <= "$TO_DATE" ) ' filename"

filename has following data :-
Code:
06/05/2008-07:59
06/05/2008-07:59
06/05/2008-07:59
06/05/2008-07:59
