Thanks very much for the replys Smilie. I originally mucked around with a few pieces of code such as:

Code:
sed 's/\(\.[1-9][1-9]\)0/\1/' inputfile

and

Code:
awk '{gsub(/\.000/,"",$1); print $1}' inputfile

I couldn't get an overall solution. Couldn't get the sed code to work either, not sure what I was doing wrong. Anyway, will test solutions tomorrow when at work. Thanks again for your input.
