script using cal that accepts from command line

[ephemeralz]

I want to create a script that can accepts more than one month name on the command line, as in "mycal jan feb" and also accept ranges of months like "mycal jan - mar" or also "mycal jan - mar 2004 apr 2003"

Thanks for the help

I already have a program 'name2num' that converts the months to a number. e.g. jan = 1, mar = 3, etc.. I'm new to shell scripting and below is what I have so far:

if [ $# = 0 ] ; then
echo &quot;usage: $0 month ..&quot;
exit
fi
MONTH = &quot;&quot;
DASH = FALSE

for m in $*
do
ARG=`name2num $m`
echo $ARG
if test $m = -
then
DASH=TRUE
elif test $ARG != error && DASH == TRUE

MONTH = &quot;$MONTH $ARG&quot;
fi


done

I would like to store the month &quot;jan - jun&quot; to a variable.
The $MONTH would have 1 2 3 4 5 6

Thanks.
Thanks
