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.

CheckDigits::M11_011(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CheckDigits::M11_011(3pm)
NAME
CheckDigits::M11_011 - compute check digits for VAT Registration Number (NL)
SYNOPSIS
use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
$ustid = CheckDigits('ustid_nl');
if ($ustid->is_valid('123456782')) {
# do something
}
if ($ustid->is_valid('123456782B04')) {
# do something
}
$cn = $ustid->complete('12345678');
# $cn = '123456782'
$cn = $ustid->complete('12345678.B04');
# $cn = '123456782B04'
$cd = $ustid->checkdigit('123456782');
# $cd = '2'
$cd = $ustid->checkdigit('123456782B04');
# $cd = '2'
$bn = $ustid->basenumber('123456782');
# $bn = '12345678';
$bn = $ustid->basenumber('123456782B04');
# $bn = '12345678.B04';
DESCRIPTION
This VATRN has 12 "digits", the third last must be a B, the fourth last is the checkdigit. I don't know anything about the meaning of the
last two digits.
You may use the whole VATRN or only the first eight digits to compute the checkdigit with this module.
ALGORITHM
1. Beginning right with the digit before the checkdigit all digits are weighted with their position. I.e. the digit before the checkdigit
is multiplied with 2, the next with 3 and so on.
2. The weighted digits are added.
3. The sum from step 2 is taken modulo 11.
4. If the sum from step 3 is 10, the number is discarded.
METHODS
is_valid($number)
Returns true only if $number consists solely of numbers and hyphens and the two digits in the middle are valid check digits according
to the algorithm given above.
Returns false otherwise,
complete($number)
The check digit for $number is computed and inserted into the middle of $number.
Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits, hyphens and spaces.
basenumber($number)
Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check digit.
Return '' otherwise.
checkdigit($number)
Returns the check digits of $number if $number has valid check digits.
Return '' otherwise.
EXPORT
None by default.
