Input handling and formatting input to shell

Shell Programming and Scripting

i want to get input and depending on it create new commands for input to expect.
But problem is that after giving date or month as 01-09 it is interpretation as 1-9

echo -n "ENTER DATE "
read d1
echo -n "ENTER MONTH "
read m1
echo -n "ENTER YEAR"
read y1

o=1
i=1
d2=`expr $d1 + 1`
while [ $i -lt $d2 ]
do

d"$o"="ls nc*$i$m1$y1* | wc -l"
echo "$(d$o) \c" >> input_to_expect.txt  ########### done for testing purpose only###
i=`expr $i + 1`
o=`expr $o + 1`

done

the expectd output in input_to_expect.txt is

ls nc*010412* | wc -l    ls nc*020412* | wc -l   ###########and so on as per input####

the actual output required is
the value of d1,d2.......dn ( as per i/p) should be as fallows so that it can be forwarded to expect

Try the Shell typeset command to declare all the variables which need to have leading zeros (and that includes $i and $o in your script).

typeset -Z2 var
var=3
echo $var
