I noticed in the code you gave me you had a prefix of "%" instead of "$" for the variables defining the month and Location...I tried running with both and it gives me the same error
So I like to talk my code out in words correct me if I'm wrong here but this is what I have so far:
1. Open the file with the file names
2. Define variables to compare the file to
3. While not eof take each line of the file and split it by "-" and put each split value into a unique variable
4. Check two of the variables (month and location) against the two variables defined before the "while" statement
5. make the appropriate changes or do nothing if nothing matches
6. print each line of the file back in the same order it was found with the appropriate changes
7. Close file
There is an error when i am trying to use the shift command in this way:
($1 = -d, $2 = 123, $3 = -c etc etc)
for $arg in $@
do
case $arg in
"-d") shift; (so that the $2 will become the $arg now)
(and while it loop the 2nd time,)

Hi Folks,
In shell scripting the maximum no. of command line parameters becomes 9(Am i right). If we want to get more than 9 parameters we use the shift command.
Even here there are two possibilities.
1. Without the use of variables - The arguments are lost and the lost no. is equal to the... (6 Replies)

gmmktime
GMMKTIME(3) 1 GMMKTIME(3)gmmktime - Get Unix timestamp for a GMT dateSYNOPSIS
int gmmktime ([int $hour = gmdate("H")], [int $minute = gmdate("i")], [int $second = gmdate("s")], [int $month = gmdate("n")], [int
$day = gmdate("j")], [int $year = gmdate("Y")], [int $is_dst = -1])
DESCRIPTION
Identical to mktime(3) except the passed parameters represents a GMT date. gmmktime(3) internally uses mktime(3) so only times valid in
derived local time can be used.
Like mktime(3), arguments may be left out in order from right to left, with any omitted arguments being set to the current corresponding
GMT value.
PARAMETERS
o $hour
- The number of the hour relative to the start of the day determined by $month, $day and $year. Negative values reference the hour
before midnight of the day in question. Values greater than 23 reference the appropriate hour in the following day(s).
o $minute
- The number of the minute relative to the start of the $hour. Negative values reference the minute in the previous hour. Values
greater than 59 reference the appropriate minute in the following hour(s).
o $second
- The number of seconds relative to the start of the $minute. Negative values reference the second in the previous minute. Values
greater than 59 reference the appropriate second in the following minute(s).
o $month
- The number of the month relative to the end of the previous year. Values 1 to 12 reference the normal calendar months of the
year in question. Values less than 1 (including negative values) reference the months in the previous year in reverse order, so 0
is December, -1 is November, etc. Values greater than 12 reference the appropriate month in the following year(s).
o $day
- The number of the day relative to the end of the previous month. Values 1 to 28, 29, 30 or 31 (depending upon the month) refer-
ence the normal days in the relevant month. Values less than 1 (including negative values) reference the days in the previous
month, so 0 is the last day of the previous month, -1 is the day before that, etc. Values greater than the number of days in the
relevant month reference the appropriate day in the following month(s).
o $year
- The year
o $is_dst
- Parameters always represent a GMT date so $is_dst doesn't influence the result.
Note
This parameter has been removed in PHP 7.0.0.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a integer Unix timestamp.
