How to change "more" to "more or equal" in this line?

Hi,
Below line selects only dates comes after than today.
I need to change below line as "more or equal":

Code:
awk -F\## -v d=$(date +%Y%m%d) '{if($NF>d)print}' /usr/batch/pill.txt > /usr/batch/pill_in_use.txt

When we change the code, it will print today's date and following dates only.

Any idea?

thanks in advance
Boris

Without seeing some of the contents of /usr/batch/pill.tx I have doubts about -F\## giving you what you want as a field separator, but if it currently works matching dates following the given date, the change marked in red should be all you need:
Code:
awk -F\## -v d=$(date +%Y%m%d) '{if($NF>=d)print}' /usr/batch/pill.txt > /usr/batch/pill_in_use.txt

Thanks
