I have a program that analyses calls to phone numbers. (yes, this is the
same program that I have struggle with for some time now) The data file
is sorted on phone number (area code and the number) that makes it a 10
digit number. My comparisons fail at 2 to the 31st power. My last
phone number that works is 2147493101. 2 to the 31st power is
2147483648. I think this is also the 2 Gbit limit I ran into in much
older systems. I am running RH 8.0.
How do I construct a test using numbers larger than this if the program
ignores all logic at this point?
This is one of my conditional statements and it is being ignored when
pnum exceeds my last phone number of 2147493101.
Ext is phone extension. P is for current value and pp is for previous
value. Str is a switch I set in the program.
elif [ $pnum -eq $ppnum -a $pext -eq $ppext -a $pext -lt 300 -a $str -eq
1 ] ; then
When all conditiona are true this condition fails to execute the desired
script. It just whizzes by. I have checked the debug file and
confirmed that all values are true and the condition should execute.
All suggestions are accepted.
