To compare dates in a specific format in Linux, you can use the date
command along with the +%s
option to convert the dates into Unix timestamps and compare them numerically.
Here's an example:
1 2 |
date -d "2023-06-01 12:00" +"%s" date -d "2022-11-05 15:30" +"%s" |
1 2 3 4 5 |
if [ $(date -d "2023-06-01 12:00" +"%s") -gt $(date -d "2022-11-05 15:30" +"%s") ]; then echo "The first date is greater than the second date." else echo "The second date is greater than or equal to the first date." fi |
This code snippet compares two dates and retrieves the output based on the comparison result.
Note: Make sure to provide the appropriate date format in the date
command as per your requirement.
