此代码还可以比较浮点数。它使用的是awk(它不是纯bash),但这不应该成为问题,因为awk是标准的POSIX命令,很可能默认随操作系统一起提供。
$ awk 'BEGIN {return_code=(-1.2345 == -1.2345) ? 0 : 1; exit} END {exit return_code}'
$ echo $?
0
$ awk 'BEGIN {return_code=(-1.2345 >= -1.2345) ? 0 : 1; exit} END {exit return_code}'
$ echo $?
0
$ awk 'BEGIN {return_code=(-1.2345 < -1.2345) ? 0 : 1; exit} END {exit return_code}'
$ echo $?
1
$ awk 'BEGIN {return_code=(-1.2345 < 2) ? 0 : 1; exit} END {exit return_code}'
$ echo $?
0
$ awk 'BEGIN {return_code=(-1.2345 > 2) ? 0 : 1; exit} END {exit return_code}'
$ echo $?
为了使它更短使用,请使用以下功能:
compare_nums()
{
# Function to compare two numbers (float or integers) by using awk.
# The function will not print anything, but it will return 0 (if the comparison is true) or 1
# (if the comparison is false) exit codes, so it can be used directly in shell one liners.
#############
### Usage ###
### Note that you have to enclose the comparison operator in quotes.
#############
# compare_nums 1 ">" 2 # returns false
# compare_nums 1.23 "<=" 2 # returns true
# compare_nums -1.238 "<=" -2 # returns false
#############################################
num1=$1
op=$2
num2=$3
E_BADARGS=65
# Make sure that the provided numbers are actually numbers.
if ! [[ $num1 =~ ^-?[0-9]+([.][0-9]+)?$ ]]; then >&2 echo "$num1 is not a number"; return $E_BADARGS; fi
if ! [[ $num2 =~ ^-?[0-9]+([.][0-9]+)?$ ]]; then >&2 echo "$num2 is not a number"; return $E_BADARGS; fi
# If you want to print the exit code as well (instead of only returning it), uncomment
# the awk line below and comment the uncommented one which is two lines below.
#awk 'BEGIN {print return_code=('$num1' '$op' '$num2') ? 0 : 1; exit} END {exit return_code}'
awk 'BEGIN {return_code=('$num1' '$op' '$num2') ? 0 : 1; exit} END {exit return_code}'
return_code=$?
return $return_code
}
$ compare_nums -1.2345 ">=" -1.2345 && echo true || echo false
true
$ compare_nums -1.2345 ">=" 23 && echo true || echo false
false
