out of a range of numbers, how can i pick out the number that is the closest to any arbitrary/random number that a user supplies?
say the range of numbers are between 1 - 90000. but that doesn't mean each number exist between 1 - 90000. the range of numbers could be for example:
As you can see, the numbers are in order from smallest to greatest, however, some numbers are missing. Say a user provides a number that is missing in the range of numbers. How do I grab the closest number in that range to what the user provided?
like say the user provided the number 39. From looking at the above range, you can see that the number 35 doesn't exist. So, how do I know to pick the closest number to 39 that does exist in the range? The closest numbers to 39, in the above range, are 30 and 48. How can I do this in a bash shell script?
I want to grep a range of numbers in a log file. My log file looks like this:
20050807070609Z;blah blah
That is a combination of yr,month,date,hours,minutes,seconds.
I want to search in the log file events that happened between a particular time.

Dear Friends,
I want to know how to grep for the lines that has a number between given range(start and end).

numrange
NUMRANGE(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation NUMRANGE(1)NAME
numrange - Print out a range of numbers for use in for loops and such.
SYNOPSIS
numrange [-dhV] /<expression>/
DESCRIPTION
numrange will print out a list of numbers based on an expression that you specify. This is useful for making a list of numbers for use in
for loops and so on. Ranges are inclusive. Ranges of numbers are specified using the .. operator, like this /20..50/, which means all
integers from 20 to 50 inclusive. More complex expressions can be generated using the commas and the 'i' increment operator.
OPTIONS -e <set> Exclude the <set> of numbers from the range output. <set>
is a set of numbers separated by commas.
-n <n> Use <n> as the separator between numbers. By default, it
will use a space. Use '
' or \n for a newline character or
use the -N option.
-N Just a quick option for using a newline as the separator.
-h Help: You're looking at it.
-V Increase verbosity.
-d Debug mode. For developers
EXAMPLES
All numbers from 1 to 10.
$ numrange /1..10/
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
From 10 to 1. Counting down.
$ numrange /10..1/
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
From 1 to 10 and from 15 to 20.
$ numrange /1..10,15..20/
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 15 16 17 18 19 20
Even numbers from 0 to 10
$ numrange /0..10i2/
0 2 4 6 8 10
Odd numbers. Notice the starting number in the range expression.
$ numrange /1..10i2/
1 3 5 7 9
Factors of 3 between 99 and 120.
$ numrange /99..120i3/
99 102 105 108 111 114 117 120
Decimal numbers
$ numrange /1.1..2.5i0.1/
1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5
And negative numbers too.
$ numrange /1.0..-2.0i0.3/
1 0.7 0.4 0.1 -0.2 -0.5 -0.8 -1.1 -1.4 -1.7 -2
You can also pad numbers when you are counting up. This is
a trick of how the Perl programming language deals with ranges:
$ numrange /01..15/
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15
BUGS
Even though you can do zero padding on simple ranges, like 001..100, it will not pad zeros on complex ranges like 001..100i2, or for
counting downwards.
