Date increment
hi Friends,


Code:
Today_Dt=`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`


So the Today date is 2010-05-03

I have a file which has date values as below

Code:
2010-04-27
2010-04-02
2010-04-18
2010-04-28
2010-04-29
..


I need find out latest date from the file and I want to add all the dates that resides between latest date and today date. Atlast I should add today date also in the file.


So the output file should be like
Code:
2010-04-02
2010-04-18
2010-04-27
2010-04-28
2010-04-29
2010-04-30
2010-05-01
2010-05-02
2010-05-03
