这里有一个支持修订的纯Bash解决方案(例如。“1.0-r1”)，答案是基于丹尼斯·威廉姆森(Dennis Williamson)发布的答案。可以很容易地修改它以支持'-RC1'之类的东西，或者通过更改正则表达式从更复杂的字符串中提取版本。

有关实现的详细信息，请参考代码内注释和/或启用包含的调试代码:

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

### the answer is does we second argument is higher
function _ver_higher {
        ver=`echo -ne "$1\n$2" |sort -Vr |head -n1`
        if [ "$2" == "$1" ]; then
                return 1
        elif [ "$2" == "$ver" ]; then
                return 0
        else
                return 1
        fi
}

if _ver_higher $1 $2; then
        echo higher
else
        echo same or less
fi

它非常简单和小。

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"
2

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。
