Code:

Try this
Code:
ADV1=94.3
Quantity=96.3
if [ $Quantity -gt $ADV1 ]; then
    echo "quantity is greter"
fi

hey last time i checked -gt, -eq, -lt etc are used for integer comparison and !=, == etc are used for string comparison.... how can a string compare -gt (greater than) or -lt (less than)
