Script ?? on variables

MikeL_4 — Tue, 01 Apr 2003 19:14:35 GMT

What can I use to drop a character out of a variable in a script ??

In the variable ther is a . and would like to drop the character out. i.e. "1.15" would end of being "115"

You can use sed ..
sed 's/\.//'
ie replacing the "." with nothing.

Here's a way using awk:

VAR=1.15
VAR1=$(echo $VAR | awk -F . '{print $1$2}')

I'm sure there's a way to do it using sed too, but I am not that familiar with sed.

Hi,
Or the most simple:
echo 1.15 |tr -d .
