I am doing this as a practice to learn looping Artithmetic and all
Could you debug this for me please . I am just calculating the year difference with leap year in this phase. I know i have messed up the Loops
Code:
#!/nairvigv/bin/bash
echo "ENTER FIRST DATE IN YYYYMMDD format"
read startdate



startyear=${startdate:0:4}
startmonth=${startdate:4:2}
startday=${startdate:6:2}




echo The date you Entered is $startyear"-"$startmonth"-"$startday


echo "ENTER SECOND DATE IN YYYYMMDD format"
read enddate
endyear=${enddate:0:4}
endmonth=${enddate:4:2}
endday=${enddate:6:2}



echo The date you Entered is $endyear"-"$endmonth"-"$endday



days_months=(31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31)

echo ${days_months[*]}

CGI::Untaint::date(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   CGI::Untaint::date(3pm)

NAME
CGI::Untaint::date - validate a date SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Untaint; my $handler = CGI::Untaint->new($q->Vars); my $date = $handler->extract(-as_date => 'date'); DESCRIPTION
is_valid This Input Handler verifies that it is dealing with a reasonable date. Reasonably means anything that Date::Manip thinks is sensible, so you could use any of (for example): "December 12, 2001" "12th December, 2001" "2001-12-12" "next Tuesday" "third Wednesday in March" See Date::Manip for much more information on what date formats are acceptable. The resulting date will be a Date::Simple object. Date::Simple for more information on this. date_format By default ambiguous dates of the format 08/09/2001 will be treated as UK style (i.e. 8th September rather than 9th August) If you want to change this, subclass it and override date_format() WARNING
Date::Manip does not play nicely with taint mode. In order to work around this we locally clobber Date::Manip's 'timezone' code. As we're only interested in dates rather than times, this shouldn't be much of an issue. If it is, then please let me know! SEE ALSO
