Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions Displaying specific lines from a CSV file Post 302392134 by Adzi on Wednesday 3rd of February 2010 11:56:46 AM

Thanks for the replies. The CSV file is ordered by day and month now, listed as such...
Code:
name,telNo,birthday
test 1,123456789,1989/01/26
test 2,123456789,1986/01/27
test 3,123456789,1989/06/09
test 4,123456789,1901/08/15

Which means I should be able to get the next line by performing a simple iteration and adding one to the date field. I cant seem to get this to work. My bash logic isn't fantastic and there is probably a lot of glaring errors but this is what I have (which isn't working)...

Code:
#"/bin/bash
date=`date +"%m"`/`date +"%d"`
if [ -z "`cat birthday.csv | grep $date`" ]; then
$newDate=$date+1
$date=$newDate
else
echo cat birthday.csv | grep $date
fi

Am I going about this completely the wrong way?
