To update in the same file itself then,

# perl -pi -e 's/%//' filename

Lots of ways to do it.

hi,

perl -pi -e 's/%//' filename

will update in the file itself.

Example:

# cat filename
45%
35%

# perl -pi -e 's/%//' filename
# cat filename
45%
35%

It is not needing any temporary files to do this action.

If you don't want then simply as,

# perl -p -e 's/%//' filename (without -i)

oops,

# perl -pi -e 's/%//' filename
# cat filename
45
35

will remove % and update in the same file.
