Problem with gstat and octal value
Here are a few lines from my script. The problem I am having is that the statement for gstat returns this error:

Code:
line 43: [[: 08: value too great for base (error token is "08")

The statement is coming from gstat.
Is there a way to fix it? Apparently -eq 02 is coming up as some octal value, I need it to be recognized as 02.

Apparently in this case the script still works but the error appears, not sure how to get rid of it.

Code:
if [[ "$file" =~ [A-Z] && $CDATE = "Jan" ]]; then jx1="01-January";
#jx1="03-Mar";
yeardir=$CYEAR;
mv "$file" /tmp/Move\ Lists/$dir/$yeardir/$jx1;
elif [[ "$file" =~ [A-Z] && $CDATE = "Feb" && $(/opt/csw/bin/gstat "$file" |grep Mod|awk '{print $2}'|cut -b 6,7) -eq 02 ]];
then jx1="02-February";
yeardir=$CYEAR;
mv "$file" /tmp/Move\ Lists/$dir/$yeardir/$jx1;
