Hi,
I am trying to find out how to get an absolute value for integer in ksh.
I tried using abs... but that doesn't work ! this is the workaround I did, but isn't there an inbuilt function to get absolute value for any variable !
Please help as i am new to unix :confused:
Thanks,

How would I get the absolute filename of a selected file...I want to control click...I already have the context menu all set to run a script...I just need to be able to get the file name of the file I control clicked on.
In windows it is as follows:
set filename=%~f1
set name=%~n1

is there any function in unix which will convert a integer to absolute value with a single decimal point.
suppose x=15232
y=x/1024=14.875
i want y to be 14.8
Similarly if y=6.29452 it should come as 6.3 (3 Replies)
Hi,
i want to caluculate sum and absolute sum information of the 2nd column.
sum(abs(ENO)),sum(ENO)
file1 contains the employee information.
"abc","+10000.00","100"
"bbc","-3000.00","400"
"cbc","+20000.90","500"

output should get this

abs(3) Library Functions Manual abs(3)delim $$NAME
abs, div, labs, ldiv - Computes absolute value and division of integers
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.a)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int abs (
int i );
long labs (
long i );
div_t div (
int numerator ,
int denominator);
ldiv_t ldiv (
long numerator,
long denominator);
PARAMETERS
For abs(), specifies some integer. For labs(), specifies some long integer. For div(), specifies some integer. For ldiv(), specifies
some long integer. For div(), specifies some integer. For ldiv(), specifies some long integer.
DESCRIPTION
The abs() function returns the absolute value of its integer operand.
The div() function computes the quotient and remainder of the division of the numerator numerator by the denominator denominator. If the
division is inexact, the sign of the resulting quotient is that of the algebraic quotient, and the magnitude of the resulting quotient is
the largest integer less than the magnitude of the algebraic quotient. If the result cannot be represented (for example, if the denominator
is 0), the behavior is undefined. The div() function returns a value of type div_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder.
The labs() and ldiv() functions perform the same functions as abs() and div() respectively, but accept long integers rather than integers
as parameters. The ldiv() function returns a value of type ldiv_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder.
NOTES
The abs(), labs(), div(), and ldiv() functions are supported for multithreaded applications.
A two's-complement integer can hold a negative number whose absolute value is too large for the integer to hold. When given this largest
negative value, the abs() function returns the same value. Full use
RETURN VALUES
The abs() function and labs() function return the absolute value of their arguments.
The div() function returns a value of type div_t and the ldiv() function returns a value of type ldiv_t.
