Thanku so much...it works...

But i have a problem...
I have given an if statment stating that if its whole number output the "TABLEAVG"
else
value with decimal...

if [ $TABLEAVG == 29 ]
then
echo "The file is good with count of comma per line : $TABLEAVG"
else
echo "The file is corrupt with commas : $TABLEAVG"
fi

If the output is 29, it displays 29.00 because i have given the sacle..is there any workaround for this..

thanks
