I would like to change 5% to 5 out of "bdf" command outputs.

really depends on your script, but you could probably just add something like: |awk -F"%" '{print $1}'

Brian,

bdf |sed 's/%//g' should do the trick.

# bdf | tr -d '%'
# bdf | sed 's/%//g'
# bdf | perl -pe's/%//g'
# bdf | perl -pe'y/%//d'

enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

HI ,

You can also use sed to remove the "%" as shown :

echo "500% 600% 700%" | sed 's/%//g'
