Numbers statrting with 0 are evaluated as octal numbers : 070820 is an invalid octal number.
A solution is to force decimal base evaluation :
This script will not give you any error, but i am not sure that the result is what you are expected.
Incrementng the date will give you invalid dates, for example :
070831+1=070832 <= Invalid date

Hey Jean,
Thanks for replying...
The solution you suggested should help me accomplish my task until date reaches the value 070831.
However, after that, I'd like the script to increment the month (as in performing increment on a date variable) and perform the remaining part of the task until currentdate.
I think this shouldnt be much of a problem in other programming languages (I am new to shell scripting though). Also, if you feel there is a better alternate approach, please feel free to suggest.

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
