    Hello,

    I am using the case to convert Monday,Tuesday..Friday to number 1,2,3,4,5 like:

    A=date +%a
    B=0

    case "$A" in

    Mon) B=1;;
    Tue) B=2;;
    Wed) B=3;;
    Thu) B=4;;
    Fri) B=5;;
    *) echo "can only run during Mon - Fri"

    esac

    Is there built-in functions in shell,which can make the script neat?

    thanks & have a good weekend,

    carl
