Problem with Date Comparision

Hi,

I have a file which has the date in the last line in the example pasted along with the rates of the countries.

-- I want to compare the date in the last line of the file mentioned in the example below with the system date from Monday to Friday.
-- If system date is equal to the date in the Last line then ignore else send a mail notification
--For Saturday it should compare the sysdate-1 with the date in the last line from the file

--For Sunday it should compare the sysdate-2 with the date in the last line from the file.

Can any one help me a shell script in this regard?

extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end) DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the font. Example: FONT *myfont; FONT *capitals; FONT *fontcopy; ... /* Create a font of only capital letters */ capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z'); /* Create a copy of the font */ fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1); ... destroy_font(capitals); destroy_font(fontcopy); RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it to avoid memory leaks. SEE ALSO
