Text data string conversion to Integer
Folks
Appreciate your help in understanding issue in relation to below.
I need to pul uvalue from a file (tmpfile) and compare it with a number to make decision.

Using #!/bin/sh
contents of tmpfile :
Slot uvalue : 0.16 [%]

How I am pulling it:
unifval=`awk '/uvalue/ {print $4}' tmpfile`

when I try below if statements to compare this uvalue to a number it does not work.
if test $unifval -gt 0.1
#if [ $unifval > 0.20 ] #tried this too but did not work.

Could you please help me.. thanks in advance

tmpfile

tmpfile(3S)															       tmpfile(3S)

NAME

       tmpfile() - create a temporary file

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       creates	a temporary file by generating a name through (see tmpnam(3S)), and returns a corresponding pointer.  If the file cannot be opened
       a NULL pointer is returned.  The file is automatically deleted when the process using it terminates.  The file is opened for update

   Notes
       On HP-UX systems, the mode is equivalent to the mode.

ERRORS

       The function will fail if:

	      [EOVERFLOW]	       The named file is a regular file and the size of the file cannot be represented correctly in an	object	of
				       size in this environment.

       Additional values may be set by the underlying function (see fopen(3S)).

SEE ALSO

       creat(2), unlink(2), mktemp(3C), fopen(3S), fgetpos64(3S), tmpnam(3S), thread_safety(5).
