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?
