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.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
wget -qO- http://cs.actx.edu/~craddock/unix2/lab11 | awk -v oldprice=`cat pricefile` '
/<b class="price">/ {
getline
newprice = $0
if (oldprice ~ newprice) {
print "The price is the same"
}
else{
print "The price is not the same"
system ("mail -s"The price has changed" username")
print newprice > "pricefile"
}
}'
I have searched and found a few threads that have dealt with this, but the examples I've tried haven't seemed to help.

Finance::Quote::Trustnet(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Finance::Quote::Trustnet(3pm)NAME
Finance::Quote::Trustnet - Obtain unit trust prices from trustnet.co.uk
SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;
%stockinfo = $q->fetch("uk_unit_trusts","trust-name"); # Can failover to other methods
%stockinfo = $q->fetch("trustnet","trust-name"); # Use this module only.
DESCRIPTION
This module obtains information about UK unit trust prices from www.trustnet.co.uk. The information source "uk_unit_trusts" can be used if
the source of prices is irrelevant, and "trustnet" if you specifically want to use trustnet.co.uk.
UNIT TRUST NAMES
Unfortunately there is no unique identifier for unit trust names. Therefore enough of the name should be given including spaces to yield a
unique match. Trustnet sometimes uses abbreviated names, and the string given should match the abbreviation.
Consult http://www.trustnet.co.uk/ut/funds/perf.asp?sort=0 to find a match for your unit trusts.
Example "jupiter income"
LABELS RETURNED
Information available from Trustnet may include the following labels: exchange method source name currency bid ask yield price. In case of
a unit trust, "price" returns the offer (ask) price. In case of an OIEC, the unique price is returned in "bid", "ask" and "price".
