Help with awk

[wvsa]

Greetings all;

I'm trying to remove the % sign from the following awk command:

memchk | grep physical | awk '{print $5}'

The value printed is 75% need to find a way to remove the % sign.

Thank you for your input.

Hi

memchk | grep physical | awk '{print $5}' | tr -d "%"

# memchk | awk '/physical/ {print z[split($5,z,"%")-1]}'

hi

This should also work

memchk | grep physical |awk '{print $5}' | awk -F '%" '{print $1}'

Regards
Padma

Hi Norm:

You could also do:

# memchk|awk '/physical/ {sub(/%/,"",$5);print}'

This eliminates the extra process (viz. 'grep') along with accomodating your request!

Regards!
