UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am trying to read version from a web url like <url/daily-builds/sdk-3.2.v20140312170355-osx.zip> [here v20140312170355 denotes date-time]
and download and store in my filesystem if its the latest.

Kindly help me how to read version 3.2.v20140312170355 and compare same with a folder named similar in my directory and download the latest if not already downloaded.
I have tried curl -O <url/daily-builds/sdk-3.2.v20140312170355-osx.zip>

which only downloads the file for me without checking that its the latest or not.

I am not sure what you want to do here..but below is the code to capture APP_NAME, Version, Sub Version & Time stamp

Code:

awk '{split($0, a, "/"); split(a[length(a)], b, "-"); split(b[2], c, "."); print b[1], c[1], c[2], c[3]}'

You can add the below and do you manipulations

Code:

while read APP_NAME VERSION SUB_VERSION TIME_STAMP
