The problem is that the English description of the desired output and the sample desired output shown in the 1st post in this thread do not match
The code suggested by Corona688 produces the sample output from the sample input (without caring about what appears before the first space.
The code MadeInGermany suggested removes any characters that appear before the 1st character in the space character class AND the 1st character in the space character class (which does not match the English description of the problem and does not produce the sample output).
The English description of the problem is incomplete. It doesn't say what should happen to an input line that does not contain a space. It could be interpreted to mean that if there is no space, no change is to be made (as is shown in the sample output for some sample input lines), or it could be interpreted to mean that all characters should be removed from lines that do not contain a space character. (And note that the description talks about "a space"; not a character in the space character class.)
The following script shows one way to meet the stated English requirements for either interpretation:
and produces the output:
which, of course, is nothing at all like the sample output provided!
I have a script that shows me the disk SPace used by different dir under my home dir:

I created a awk state to calculate the number of success however when the query runs it has a leading zero. Any ideas on how to remove the leading zero from the calculation?
Here is my query:
cat myfile.log | grep | awk '{print $2,$3,$7,$11,$15,$19,$23,$27,$31,$35($19/$15*100)}'

UUENCODE(5) File Formats Manual UUENCODE(5)NAME
uuencode - format of an encoded uuencode file
DESCRIPTION
Files output by uuencode(1) consist of a header line, followed by a number of body lines, and a trailer line. The uudecode(1) command will
ignore any lines preceding the header or following the trailer. Lines preceding a header must not, of course, look like a header.
The header line is distinguished by having the first 6 characters begin The word begin is followed by a mode (in octal), and a string
which names the remote file. A space separates the three items in the header line.
The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters long (including the trailing newline). These consist of a character
count, followed by encoded characters, followed by a newline. The character count is a single printing character, and represents an inte-
ger, the number of bytes the rest of the line represents. Such integers are always in the range from 0 to 63 and can be determined by sub-
tracting the character space (octal 40) from the character.
Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character. All are offset by a space to make the characters printing. The last
line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes. If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined by the value of the count on
the last line. Extra garbage will be included to make the character count a multiple of 4. The body is terminated by a line with a count
of zero. This line consists of one ASCII space.
The trailer line consists of end on a line by itself.
