Rounding problem

Hi,

Can any one help me in finding a solution for rounding off to 2 decimal places.

I am using the following code:

VAR1=.01292105263157894736
VAR2=`echo "scale=2; $VAR1 * 100" | bc -l`

The result I 'm getting is
1.29210526315789473600

But I need the output as 1.29

Thanks
Shash

Try awk:

$ echo .02199 | awk '{printf "%.2f \n", $1*100; }'
2.20
