感谢Dennis的解决方案，我们可以扩展它以允许比较运算符'>'，'<'，'='，'=='，'<='和'>='。

# compver ver1 '=|==|>|<|>=|<=' ver2
compver() { 
    local op
    vercomp $1 $3
    case $? in
        0) op='=';;
        1) op='>';;
        2) op='<';;
    esac
    [[ $2 == *$op* ]] && return 0 || return 1
}

然后我们可以在表达式中使用比较运算符，比如:

compver 1.7 '<=' 1.8
compver 1.7 '==' 1.7
compver 1.7 '=' 1.7

并且只测试结果的真/假，比如:

if compver $ver1 '>' $ver2; then
    echo "Newer"
fi

可能没有普遍正确的方法来实现这一点。如果您正在尝试比较Debian包系统中的版本，请尝试dpkg——compare-versions <first> <relation> <second>。

你可以递归地拆分。和下面的算法进行比较，从这里开始。如果版本相同则返回10，如果版本1大于版本2则返回11，否则返回9。

#!/bin/bash
do_version_check() {

   [ "$1" == "$2" ] && return 10

   ver1front=`echo $1 | cut -d "." -f -1`
   ver1back=`echo $1 | cut -d "." -f 2-`

   ver2front=`echo $2 | cut -d "." -f -1`
   ver2back=`echo $2 | cut -d "." -f 2-`

   if [ "$ver1front" != "$1" ] || [ "$ver2front" != "$2" ]; then
       [ "$ver1front" -gt "$ver2front" ] && return 11
       [ "$ver1front" -lt "$ver2front" ] && return 9

       [ "$ver1front" == "$1" ] || [ -z "$ver1back" ] && ver1back=0
       [ "$ver2front" == "$2" ] || [ -z "$ver2back" ] && ver2back=0
       do_version_check "$ver1back" "$ver2back"
       return $?
   else
           [ "$1" -gt "$2" ] && return 11 || return 9
   fi
}    

do_version_check "$1" "$2"

源

我的观点是:

vercomp () {
    if [[ "${1}" == "${2}" ]]; then
        echo '0'
        return
    fi
    echo "${1}" | sed 's/\([0-9]\+\)\./\1\n/g' | {
        _RES_=-1
        for _VB_ in $(echo "${2}" | sed 's/\([0-9]\+\)\./\1\n/g'); do
            if ! read -r _VA_ || [[ "${_VB_}" -gt "${_VA_}" ]]; then
                _RES_=1
                break
            fi
        done
        read -r _VA_ && echo '-1' || echo "${_RES_}"
    }
}

语法:

vercomp VERSION_A VERSION_B

打印:

-1如果VERSION_A是最近的版本 如果两个版本相等，则为0 如果VERSION_B是最近的版本，则为1

当Bash变得太复杂时，就把它输送到python中!

vercomp(){ echo "$1" "$2" | python3 -c "import re, sys; arr = lambda x: list(map(int, re.split('[^0-9]+', x))); x, y = map(arr, sys.stdin.read().split()); exit(not x >= y)"; }

比较两个版本号的例子:

vercomp 2.8 2.4.5 && echo ">=" || echo "<"

这个python一行代码比较左边版本号和右边版本号，如果左边版本号等于或更高，则退出0。它还处理2.4.5rc3这样的版本

分解后，这是可读的代码:

import re, sys

# Convert a version string into a list "2.4.5" -> [2, 4, 5]
arr = lambda x: list(map(int, re.split('[^0-9]+', x)))

# Read the version numbers from stdin and apply the above function to them
x, y = map(arr, sys.stdin.read().split())

# Exit 0 if the left number is greater than the right
exit(not x >= y)

下面是对顶部答案(Dennis的)的改进，它更简洁，并使用了不同的返回值方案，以便通过单个比较轻松实现<=和>=。它还比较不是[0-9]的第一个字符之后的所有内容。]因此1.0rc1 < 1.0rc2。

# Compares two tuple-based, dot-delimited version numbers a and b (possibly
# with arbitrary string suffixes). Returns:
# 1 if a<b
# 2 if equal
# 3 if a>b
# Everything after the first character not in [0-9.] is compared
# lexicographically using ASCII ordering if the tuple-based versions are equal.
compare_versions() {
    if [[ $1 == "$2" ]]; then
        return 2
    fi
    local IFS=.
    local i a=(${1%%[^0-9.]*}) b=(${2%%[^0-9.]*})
    local arem=${1#${1%%[^0-9.]*}} brem=${2#${2%%[^0-9.]*}}
    for ((i=0; i<${#a[@]} || i<${#b[@]}; i++)); do
        if ((10#${a[i]:-0} < 10#${b[i]:-0})); then
            return 1
        elif ((10#${a[i]:-0} > 10#${b[i]:-0})); then
            return 3
        fi
    done
    if [ "$arem" '<' "$brem" ]; then
        return 1
    elif [ "$arem" '>' "$brem" ]; then
        return 3
    fi
    return 2
}

为了解决@gammazero的评论，一个(我认为)与语义版本兼容的更长的版本是:

# also have arbitrary string suffixes. Compatible with semantic versioning, but
# not as strict: comparisons of non-semver strings may have unexpected
# behavior.

# 2 if equal
# 3 if a>b
