Thanks for your replies (damned internet connection been down *shakes fist*).
Anyway, I've tried the ideas on here but still can't seem to get it to work. If I try the following code:
Then, I get the following output when I do 'set -x' to see whats going on:
Any ideas on how I can get around this ? All the examples above work fine in the command line when using numbers, although I can't get it to work when I attempt to run it in the script when taking values from an array.
Or, is there another way to take the output from my 'USAGEPERCENTTOTAL' and strip everything after the whole number ? I'm not concerned with anything other than the whole number and it's only a rough usage total so no need to carry-forward etc.
[edit]Should have said originally guys, i'm doing this in the bash shell.
Thanx
Jim

Hi,
I have input with decimal point ( 9.99 ) for hours variable hrs.
I need to change it to seconds.
Here is my code:

But I don't want to see the decimal point.
I can use awk to trim it if there is one.
I am just wondering if there is better standard... (2 Replies)

Hi
In Unix, I have a file with some numbers like :
45600
12345
I want to insert a decimal point for these numbers based on user input.
If the input is 2, the numbers should be changed to
456.00
123.45
If the input is 3, the numbers should be changed to

Hi All,
Can some one help me in identifying the significance of character "$" ,Which is playing critical role in matching decimal point numbers as below.

gconvert
econvert(3C) Standard C Library Functions econvert(3C)NAME
econvert, fconvert, gconvert, seconvert, sfconvert, sgconvert, qeconvert, qfconvert, qgconvert - output conversion
SYNOPSIS
#include <floatingpoint.h>
char *econvert(double value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign,
char *buf);
char *fconvert(double value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign,
char *buf);
char *gconvert(double value, int ndigit, int trailing, char *buf);
char *seconvert(single *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign,
char *buf);
char *sfconvert(single *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign,
char *buf);
char *sgconvert(single *value, int ndigit, int trailing, char *buf);
char *qeconvert(quadruple *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign,
char *buf);
char *qfconvert(quadruple *value, int ndigit, int *decpt, int *sign
char *buf);
char *qgconvert(quadruple *value, int ndigit, int trailing, char *buf);
DESCRIPTION
The econvert() function converts the value to a null-terminated string of ndigit ASCII digits in buf and returns a pointer to buf. buf
should contain at least ndigit+1 characters. The position of the decimal point relative to the beginning of the string is stored indirectly
through decpt. Thus buf == "314" and *decpt == 1 corresponds to the numerical value 3.14, while buf == "314" and *decpt == -1 corresponds
to the numerical value .0314. If the sign of the result is negative, the word pointed to by sign is nonzero; otherwise it is zero. The
least significant digit is rounded.
The fconvert() function works much like econvert(), except that the correct digit has been rounded as if for sprintf(%w.nf) output with
n=ndigit digits to the right of the decimal point. ndigit can be negative to indicate rounding to the left of the decimal point. The return
value is a pointer to buf. buf should contain at least 310+max(0,ndigit) characters to accomodate any double-precision value.
The gconvert() function converts the value to a null-terminated ASCII string in buf and returns a pointer to buf. It produces ndigit sig-
nificant digits in fixed-decimal format, like sprintf(%w.nf), if possible, and otherwise in floating-decimal format, like sprintf(%w.ne);
in either case buf is ready for printing, with sign and exponent. The result corresponds to that obtained by
(void) sprintf(buf,``%w.ng'',value) ;
If trailing = 0, trailing zeros and a trailing point are suppressed, as in sprintf(%g). If trailing != 0, trailing zeros and a trailing
point are retained, as in sprintf(%#g).
The seconvert(), sfconvert(), and sgconvert() functions are single-precision versions of these functions, and are more efficient than the
corresponding double-precision versions. A pointer rather than the value itself is passed to avoid C's usual conversion of single-precision
arguments to double.
The qeconvert(), qfconvert(), and qgconvert() functions are quadruple-precision versions of these functions. The qfconvert() function can
overflow the decimal_record field ds if value is too large. In that case, buf[0] is set to zero.
The ecvt(), fcvt() and gcvt() functions are versions of econvert(), fconvert(), and gconvert(), respectively, that are documented on the
ecvt(3C) manual page. They constitute the default implementation of these functions and conform to the X/Open CAE Specification, System
Interfaces and Headers, Issue 4, Version 2.
USAGE
IEEE Infinities and NaNs are treated similarly by these functions. ``NaN'' is returned for NaN, and ``Inf'' or ``Infinity'' for Infinity.
The longer form is produced when ndigit >= 8.
