ksh Checking if variable has 5 digits
How could I check if a numeric variable has 5 digits in KSH...I have a zipcode variable that I know will always be 5 digits, and I want to print out an error if it is less or more than 5 digits the problem is that I have it as:
if [[ $zipcode -gt 99999 || $zipcode -lt 00001 ]]
but this won't work because the statement doesn't see 0001 as being less than 00001...pls help.
