Shell Programming and Scripting

However you want to move the numbers to two files; I think your script is already doing this.

Code:

> cat passf
37
> cat totalf
64

Now I am setting variables that point to the file locations; again, I think your script is doing something like this already.

Code:

> passv="./passf"
> totalv="./totalf"

Showing that I can read the text behind the filenames stored inside the variables.

Code:

> echo `cat $passv` *100 / `cat $totalv`     
37 *100 / 64

Finally, showing math being done on those numbers.

Code:

> echo `cat $passv` *100 / `cat $totalv` | bc
57

okay,i belive this should work.
