how to remove percent sign at end of line

[Rob Yohn]

I have a file that contains percentage output and I would like to extract just the number without the percent sign. Here is a sample of what the file would contain.

94%
95%
93%
100%

How can I remove the "%" and just extract the number?

Something like this maybe:

cat file |sed 's|%||g'

cat file|tr -d %

If you want to remove it only on the end of the line (and no whitespaces after it):
sed 's/%$//' file
