Integer/Float Script Problem

Integer/Float Script Problem
Hi,
I have a script which takes a value from a file and performs calculations on it. Trouble is that this value is a float not an integer and it errors at the decimal point!
eg. 94.62
I would like to be able to detect the length of the float (in this above case, 5 characters), and simply do a cut -c on the first x characters depending on it's length. Anyone know how to detect the length of this input?
Cheers.

Good morning,
I'm testing the use of ceilf:
/*Filename: str.c*/
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
float ceilf(float x);
int dev=3, result=0;
float tmp = 3.444f;
printf("Result: %f\n",ceilf(tmp));
return 0;
