function version { echo "$@" | awk -F. '{ printf("%d%03d%03d%03d\n", $1,$2,$3,$4); }'; }

这样用:

if [ $(version $VAR) -ge $(version "6.2.0") ]; then
    echo "Version is up to date"
fi

与其编写冗长的代码使您的生活过于复杂，不如使用一些已经存在的东西。很多时候，当bash不够用时，python可以提供帮助。你仍然可以很容易地从bash脚本调用它(额外的好处:从bash到python的变量替换):

VERSION1=1.2.3
VERSION2=1.2.4

cat <<EOF | python3 | grep -q True
from packaging import version
print(version.parse("$VERSION1") > version.parse("$VERSION2"))
EOF

if [ "$?" == 0 ];  then
   echo "$VERSION1 is greater than $VERSION2"
else
   echo "$VERSION2 is greater or equal than $VERSION1"
fi

这里有更多信息:如何比较Python中的版本号?

我不喜欢这些解决方案，因为它们漏洞百出、不可移植等等。

我(目前)努力提出一个更好的解决方案……src: version_compare(),测试

如果你有coreutils-7 (Ubuntu Karmic，而不是Jaunty)，那么你的排序命令应该有一个-V选项(版本排序)，你可以使用它来进行比较:

verlte() {
    [  "$1" = "`echo -e "$1\n$2" | sort -V | head -n1`" ]
}

verlt() {
    [ "$1" = "$2" ] && return 1 || verlte $1 $2
}

verlte 2.5.7 2.5.6 && echo "yes" || echo "no" # no
verlt 2.4.10 2.4.9 && echo "yes" || echo "no" # no
verlt 2.4.8 2.4.10 && echo "yes" || echo "no" # yes
verlte 2.5.6 2.5.6 && echo "yes" || echo "no" # yes
verlt 2.5.6 2.5.6 && echo "yes" || echo "no" # no

哇……这是一个老问题，但我认为这是一个相当优雅的答案。首先，使用shell参数展开(参见shell参数展开)将每个点分隔的版本转换为自己的数组。

v1="05.2.3"     # some evil examples that work here
v2="7.001.0.0"

declare -a v1_array=(${v1//./ })
declare -a v2_array=(${v2//./ })

现在，这两个数组将版本号按优先级顺序作为数值字符串。上面的许多解决方案都是从这里开始的，但它们都源于这样的观察:版本字符串只是一个具有任意基数的整数。我们可以测试找到第一个不相等的数字(就像strcmp对字符串中的字符所做的那样)。

compare_version() {
  declare -a v1_array=(${1//./ })
  declare -a v2_array=(${2//./ })

  while [[ -nz $v1_array ]] || [[ -nz $v2_array ]]; do
    let v1_val=${v1_array:-0}  # this will remove any leading zeros
    let v2_val=${v2_array:-0}
    let result=$((v1_val-v2_val))

    if (( result != 0 )); then
      echo $result
      return
    fi

    v1_array=("${v1_array[@]:1}") # trim off the first "digit". it doesn't help
    v2_array=("${v2_array[@]:1}")
  done

  # if we get here, both the arrays are empty and neither has been numerically
  # different, which is equivalent to the two versions being equal

  echo 0
  return
}

如果第一个版本小于第二个版本，则返回负数，如果相等则返回零，如果第一个版本大于第二个版本则返回正数。一些输出:

$ compare_version 1 1.2
-2
$ compare_version "05.1.3" "5.001.03.0.0.0.1"
-1
$ compare_version "05.1.3" "5.001.03.0.0.0"
0
$ compare_version "05.1.3" "5.001.03.0"
0
$ compare_version "05.1.3" "5.001.30.0"
-27
$ compare_version "05.2.3" "7.001.0.0"
-2
$ compare_version "05.1.3" "5.001.30.0"
-27
$ compare_version "7.001.0.0" "05.1.3"

堕落的例子，”。2”或“3.0.”不起作用(未定义的结果)，并且如果'. 2 '旁边出现非数字字符。它可能会失败(还没有测试)，但肯定是没有定义的。因此，这应该与一个消毒函数或适当的检查有效的格式相匹配。此外，我相信通过一些调整，可以在没有太多额外负担的情况下使其更加健壮。
