[Resolved] get_comparable_java_version() not working as expected

[jensppi]

Hallo,

first of all thanx a lot for this script.

While I was manipulating the script for my needs I noticed the following inconsistency:

The comment of get_comparable_java_version() says

@return an 8 digit numeral ('1.8.0_45'->'08000045'; '9.1.13'->'09001013')

but instead the return value is

' 8 0 45' or ' 9 1 13'

The three parts of the version number are left padded by spaces not by zeros.

The three printf in the function get_comparable_java_version() are using %03s not %03d as expected.

This is not a bug, cause your script seems to work since years with this inconsistency. It's only a hint.

Regards,
Jens

I apologize. get_comparable_java_version() is working as expected in a macOS bash. I used a Linux bash to test some code. In a linux bash
echo "$(printf '%02s' 4)"
is
4
On a macOS bash it is
04

Sorry: Don't know how to delete a discussion.

Hi @jensppi, nevermind. I think we cannot close a discussion, so we'll just have to leave this as is. I'll change the subject though...
Best, Tobias
