Could I ask for a more detailed error report? I tested my script before I posted it. I just retested and I cannot get it to fail.

$ ./isoweek 9 10 2005

A quick question for you - in one of my shell scripts i am trying to replace some characters using a variable value(keeps changing) using sed. Now when there is an "&" sign in the variable value then at the place of "&" instead of placing the "&" it places the value that is being replaced with. I am not sure if gsub of awk works with this - but can you plz explain me how to avoid this scenario as i cannot place the "\" because its a variable and the place or "&" changes as well. is there a way to avoid this?????

You need to have the datecalc to run what Perderabo has posted.

If this is a problem completely different from your ISO date calculation problem, start a new thread.
