I really appreciate you help me!

I don’t have much real knowledge of this kind of stuff, nor know the technical terms. Most of what I know is just from messing around, one of these days I should actually read a book.

By “call” I mean be able to input a function? into another line. So if these are the right terms.
variable=function
math= (2+1)/2
answer=math
but be able to do that with the command I have, with the output being assigned a variable

Yeah I realized that the command was pretty messy but it was the only way I could figure it out. The original output is
Code:
eth0:UP (in=0.0Mbps/out=0.0Mbps):1 UP: OK

the issue I had was that the numbers scale? Up . for example in=5.0, in=10.4, in=28.3. This was the only way I could figure out how to get the numbers regardless if it was three or two digits.

The main purpose of the program is to write the percentage to an usb device. I figure if I could get as far as printf the percentage, the next step would be easy. Anyways the writing to usb command is just
Code:
writeUSB(perf_fs_usb,downspeed,upspeed)
