cut

Hi,

I need to manipualte the data in the file below so that the value fields on each line are truncated to just two decimal places. Meaning i want to delet everything after two decimal places on each record in the file.

I have highlighted the first value field.

1324377035481.8500000004
15962912770.06
170101083.84826

I can obviously use SED to find the decimal point, but can someone please advise on how to use cut in order to truncate the values after the decimal point as required ?

Thanks
Rgds

NAME

       _encodedecimal64(), _encodedecimal128(), _encodedecimal32() - encode decimal-encoded decimal data

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       There  are  two	standard  bit-encodings  for decimal floating-point data: binary and decimal.  Both encoding provide exactly the same data
       (analogous to big endian and little endian encodings).  The HP-UX decimal floating-point types use the binary encoding.

       The function encodes x as a decimal-encoded 64-bit decimal datum.

       is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result.

       is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result.
