Getting absolute value ksh
Hi,
I am trying to find out how to get an absolute value for integer in ksh.
I tried using abs... but that doesn't work ! this is the workaround I did, but isn't there an inbuilt function to get absolute value for any variable !
Please help as i am new to unix
Thanks,
**********************************
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ACTROWCNT=100
EXPROWCNT=100
if [ ${ACTROWCNT} -ge ${EXPROWCNT} ]; then
diff=`expr ${ACTROWCNT} - ${EXPROWCNT}`
else
diff=`expr ${EXPROWCNT} - ${ACTROWCNT}`
fi
if [ ${diff} -gt 100 ]; then
echo "should fail"
else
echo "Continue"
fi
exit 0

BZDIFF(1) General Commands Manual BZDIFF(1) NAME
bzcmp, bzdiff - compare bzip2 compressed files SYNOPSIS
bzcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ] bzdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ] DESCRIPTION
Bzcmp and bzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on bzip2 compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to cmp or diff. If only 1 file is specified, then the files compared are file1 and an uncompressed file1.bz2. If two files are specified, then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp or diff. The exit status from cmp or diff is preserved. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +--------------------+-----------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Availability | SUNWbzip | +--------------------+-----------------+ |Interface Stability | Committed | +--------------------+-----------------+ SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), bzmore(1), bzless(1), bzgrep(1), bzip2(1) BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified. BZDIFF(1)
