I'm writing a shellscript that monitors the price of a watch. If the prices changes, it should email me. The body of the email will show the old price and the new price. However when I compare the two awk variables(oldprice and newprice) it always says they're not the same. The shellscript goes out and retrieves the web page source code, searches it for the price, once found it stores that price in the variable newprice. I then attempt to compare it to the old price, which comes from a file and is stored in the variable oldprice, but have problems there. I don't know if awk stores it as a string or as a float variable. I am also a little unsure about how to go about mailing myself when they are not the same. I'll appreciate any help you can give me.
I have searched and found a few threads that have dealt with this, but the examples I've tried haven't seemed to help.

Is there a way to compare variables in a 'awk'?

pac
PAC(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAC(8)NAME
pac -- printer/plotter accounting information
SYNOPSIS
pac [-cmrs] [-Pprinter] [-pprice] [user ...]
DESCRIPTION
pac reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices) of paper con-
sumed by each named user, and prints out how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
When no user arguments are given, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper.
The options are as follows:
-Pprinter
Accounting is done for the named printer. Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or the value of the
environment variable PRINTER is used.
-c Causes the output to be sorted by cost; usually the output is sorted alphabetically by name.
-m Causes the host name to be ignored in the accounting file. This allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his printing
charges grouped together.
-pprice
The value price is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02 or the price specified in /etc/printcap.
-r Reverse the sorting order.
-s Accounting information is summarized on the summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a busy system, the
accounting file can grow by several lines per day.
OUTPUT FORMAT
pac formats the output into a simple table, using four columns:
1. The host name followed by the user's login name (column "Login"). If the -m option was specified, the host name will be omitted.
2. The number of pages or feet printed (column "pages/feet").
3. The number of copies made (column "runs").
4. The total price for the user (column "price").
If no user argument was specified, pac will print a summary line with print totals.
FILES
/var/account/?acct raw accounting files
/var/account/?_sum summary accounting files
/etc/printcap printer capability database
SEE ALSO printcap(5)HISTORY
The pac command appeared in 4.0BSD.
BUGS
The relationship between the computed price and reality is as yet unknown.
