The code itkamaraj suggested is using the wrong comparison operator, but he just duplicated the code you were using (so if your code was working, the changes he suggested should also work).

Are you saying that the 3rd echo in the suggestion:
Code:
 then echo You have typed pre.

needed to be:
Code:
 then echo You have typed post.

? If so, we would hope that you could correct a typo like that on your own. Please give us some details about your environment and about what is not working. Help us help you.

chronicle-spooler is a companion scrip to the chronicle blog compiler. It is designed to facilitate posting new entries automatically upon particular dates. (ie.

In this example we know that this entry will be made live upon the 15th April 2008, and not before. AUTHOR
