Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to extract elements in a field using a number Post 302150894 by ahjiefreak on Thursday 13th of December 2007 02:11:04 AM

Hi porter,

The formula is supposed to be ($j)/($i+$j) not the other way round.Anyway, I still cant get the calculation to float which in debug mode it gives

++ echo '(6.00000)/(5.00000' '+6.00000)'

which output value q=0 rather than float.

My code is:-
q=` echo \($j.00000\)\/\($i.00000 +$j.00000\)|bc`


Please advise. Thanks.
