您可以通过版本命令行查看版本约束

$ version ">=1.0, <2.0" "1.7"
$ go version | version ">=1.9"

Bash脚本示例:

#!/bin/bash

if `version -b ">=9.0.0" "$(gcc --version)"`; then
  echo "gcc version satisfies constraints >=9.0.0"
else
  echo "gcc version doesn't satisfies constraints >=9.0.0"
fi

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

我使用嵌入式Linux (Yocto)与BusyBox。BusyBox排序没有-V选项(但BusyBox expr匹配可以做正则表达式)。所以我需要一个Bash版本的比较，它适用于这个约束。

我做了以下(类似于Dennis Williamson的回答)来比较使用“自然排序”类型的算法。它将字符串分成数字部分和非数字部分;它以数字方式比较数字部分(因此10大于9)，并以纯ASCII方式比较非数字部分。

ascii_frag() {
    expr match "$1" "\([^[:digit:]]*\)"
}

ascii_remainder() {
    expr match "$1" "[^[:digit:]]*\(.*\)"
}

numeric_frag() {
    expr match "$1" "\([[:digit:]]*\)"
}

numeric_remainder() {
    expr match "$1" "[[:digit:]]*\(.*\)"
}

vercomp_debug() {
    OUT="$1"
    #echo "${OUT}"
}

# return 1 for $1 > $2
# return 2 for $1 < $2
# return 0 for equal
vercomp() {
    local WORK1="$1"
    local WORK2="$2"
    local NUM1="", NUM2="", ASCII1="", ASCII2=""
    while true; do
        vercomp_debug "ASCII compare"
        ASCII1=`ascii_frag "${WORK1}"`
        ASCII2=`ascii_frag "${WORK2}"`
        WORK1=`ascii_remainder "${WORK1}"`
        WORK2=`ascii_remainder "${WORK2}"`
        vercomp_debug "\"${ASCII1}\" remainder \"${WORK1}\""
        vercomp_debug "\"${ASCII2}\" remainder \"${WORK2}\""

        if [ "${ASCII1}" \> "${ASCII2}" ]; then
            vercomp_debug "ascii ${ASCII1} > ${ASCII2}"
            return 1
        elif [ "${ASCII1}" \< "${ASCII2}" ]; then
            vercomp_debug "ascii ${ASCII1} < ${ASCII2}"
            return 2
        fi
        vercomp_debug "--------"

        vercomp_debug "Numeric compare"
        NUM1=`numeric_frag "${WORK1}"`
        NUM2=`numeric_frag "${WORK2}"`
        WORK1=`numeric_remainder "${WORK1}"`
        WORK2=`numeric_remainder "${WORK2}"`
        vercomp_debug "\"${NUM1}\" remainder \"${WORK1}\""
        vercomp_debug "\"${NUM2}\" remainder \"${WORK2}\""

        if [ -z "${NUM1}" -a -z "${NUM2}" ]; then
            vercomp_debug "blank 1 and blank 2 equal"
            return 0
        elif [ -z "${NUM1}" -a -n "${NUM2}" ]; then
            vercomp_debug "blank 1 less than non-blank 2"
            return 2
        elif [ -n "${NUM1}" -a -z "${NUM2}" ]; then
            vercomp_debug "non-blank 1 greater than blank 2"
            return 1
        fi

        if [ "${NUM1}" -gt "${NUM2}" ]; then
            vercomp_debug "num ${NUM1} > ${NUM2}"
            return 1
        elif [ "${NUM1}" -lt "${NUM2}" ]; then
            vercomp_debug "num ${NUM1} < ${NUM2}"
            return 2
        fi
        vercomp_debug "--------"
    done
}

它可以比较更复杂的版本号，例如

1.2-r3和1.2-r4 1.2 r3 vs 1.2r4

请注意，对于Dennis Williamson的回答中的一些极端情况，它不会返回相同的结果。特别是:

1            1.0          <
1.0          1            >
1.0.2.0      1.0.2        >
1..0         1.0          >
1.0          1..0         <

但这些都是极端情况，我认为结果仍然是合理的。

下面是一个不使用外部命令的简单Bash函数。它适用于包含最多三个数字部分的版本字符串-小于3也是可以的。它可以很容易地扩展为更多。它实现了=、<、<=、>、>=和!=条件。

#!/bin/bash
vercmp() {
    version1=$1 version2=$2 condition=$3

    IFS=. v1_array=($version1) v2_array=($version2)
    v1=$((v1_array[0] * 100 + v1_array[1] * 10 + v1_array[2]))
    v2=$((v2_array[0] * 100 + v2_array[1] * 10 + v2_array[2]))
    diff=$((v2 - v1))
    [[ $condition = '='  ]] && ((diff == 0)) && return 0
    [[ $condition = '!=' ]] && ((diff != 0)) && return 0
    [[ $condition = '<'  ]] && ((diff >  0)) && return 0
    [[ $condition = '<=' ]] && ((diff >= 0)) && return 0
    [[ $condition = '>'  ]] && ((diff <  0)) && return 0
    [[ $condition = '>=' ]] && ((diff <= 0)) && return 0
    return 1
}

下面是测试:

for tv1 in '*' 1.1.1 2.5.3 7.3.0 0.5.7 10.3.9 8.55.32 0.0.1; do
    for tv2 in 3.1.1 1.5.3 4.3.0 0.0.7 0.3.9 11.55.32 10.0.0 '*'; do
      for c in '=' '>' '<' '>=' '<=' '!='; do
        vercmp "$tv1" "$tv2" "$c" && printf '%s\n' "$tv1 $c $tv2 is true" || printf '%s\n' "$tv1 $c $tv2 is false"
      done
    done
done

测试输出的子集:

<snip>

* >= * is true
* <= * is true
* != * is true
1.1.1 = 3.1.1 is false
1.1.1 > 3.1.1 is false
1.1.1 < 3.1.1 is true
1.1.1 >= 3.1.1 is false
1.1.1 <= 3.1.1 is true
1.1.1 != 3.1.1 is true
1.1.1 = 1.5.3 is false
1.1.1 > 1.5.3 is false
1.1.1 < 1.5.3 is true
1.1.1 >= 1.5.3 is false
1.1.1 <= 1.5.3 is true
1.1.1 != 1.5.3 is true
1.1.1 = 4.3.0 is false
1.1.1 > 4.3.0 is false

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

如果你知道字段的数量，你可以用-k,n,n，得到一个超级简单的解

echo '2.4.5
2.8
2.4.5.1
2.10.2' | sort -t '.' -k 1,1 -k 2,2 -k 3,3 -k 4,4 -g

2.4.5
2.4.5.1
2.8
2.10.2
