I am using this code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo "wrong syntax"
echo "ct_cmp.sh <label1> <label2> [<file_extension>]"
else
if [ $# -eq 2 ]
then
cleartool find . -version 'lbtype($1) && !lbtype($2)' -print
fi
fi
but get this result:
cleartool:
Error: Invalid query: "lbtype($1) && !lbtype($2)"
shell parameter

The single quote will prevent the expansion of the parameters in:
'lbtype($1) && !lbtype($2)'
It should work with "'lbtype($1) && !lbtype($2)'".
On a side note, one of my go-to tools when working on shell script is to validate them with shellcheck: https://www.shellcheck.net/ (also available in the standalone executable). Without surprise, it will tell you exactly the same thing about the simple quote.
