Dear Fedora users,
I am struggling to create a script that generates a series of dates with special "+%Y.%m.%d" like the following
2025.06.01
2025.06.01
2025.06.01
2025.06.01
2025.06.02
..
..
..
2025.06.03

.
Through
2025.06.30
Print four dates of June 1, then June 2, all the way through to June 30
I found several examples but can't succeed to get what I want
------
#!/bin/bash
start=$1
end=$2
start=$(date -d $start +%Y%m%d)
end=$(date -d $end +%Y%m%d)
while [[ $start -le $end ]]
do
echo $start
start=$(date -d"$start + 1 day" +"%Y%m%d")
done
------
bash daterange.sh 2025-07-01 2025-07-16
20250701
20250702
20250703
20250704
20250705
20250706
20250707
20250708
20250709
20250710
20250711
20250712
20250713
20250714
20250715
20250716
I found the script here:
https://techieroop.com/loop-through-a-date-range-in-shell-script/
Fix it to print for example above
2025.07.01
2025.07.01
2025.07.01
2025.07.01
2025.07.02
..

2025.07.16
I have changed date format to %Y.%m.%d but I get errors
.../Download/mptmp $ bash daterange.sh 2025-07-01 2025-07-16
daterange.sh: line 8: [[: 2025.07.01: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".07.01")
.../Download/mptmp $ bash daterange.sh 2025.07.01 2025.07.16
date: invalid date ‘2025.07.01’
date: invalid date ‘2025.07.16’
daterange.sh: line 8: [[: 2025.06.27: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".06.27")
How can it be fixed to do what I want?
Best Regards,
Antonio
