Handling special characters using awk

Hi all,
How do I extract a value without special characters? I need to extract the value of %Used from below and if its greater than 80, need to send a notification.
I am doing this right now..Its giving 17%..Is there a way to extract the value and assign it to a variable in one step?

df |grep /dev/hd9var |awk '{print $4}' > temp.out
Value=`cat temp.out`

df....
Filesystem 512-blocks Free %Used Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd9var 1048576 876448 17% 436 1% /var

-Thanks.

DEBUGREISERFS(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  DEBUGREISERFS(8)

NAME
debugreiserfs SYNOPSIS
debugreiserfs [ -dDJmoqpS ] [ -j device ] [ -B blocknumber ] device DESCRIPTION
It helps sometimes to solve problems with reiserfs filesystems. Being called w/o options it prints super block of reiserfs filesystem found on the device. device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX for IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX for SCSI disk partition). OPTIONS
-j device print contents of journal. Also with the option -p it allows to pack journal into archive with other metadata -J print journal header. -d print formatted nodes of the internal tree of the filesystem -D print formatted nodes of all used blocks of the filesystem -m print contents of bitmap (not very useful) -o print objectid map (not very useful) -1 blocknumber print specified block of the filesystem -p Makes debugreiserfs to find filesystem metadata This option exists to help reiserfsck debugging. If reiserfsck fails - you may extract filesystem metadata with debugreiserfs -p /dev/xxx |gzip -c > xxx.gz. We download that data and make the filesystem similar to your with gunzip -c xxx.gz | unpack /dev/xxx (unpack is included into reiserfsprogs package). This usually allows to reproduce and debug the problem quickly. When data file is not too large. -S When -S is not specified -p deals with blocks marked used in the filesystem bitmap. With this option set they will work with whole device. -q Suppress showing speed of progress when -p is in use AUTHOR
