Rounding off real (floating point) values - bash to awk

Hello, I can use a script like: #!/bin/bash x=3.7 # pass variable x to awk via -v (var=value) awk -v x=$x 'BEGIN { printf "%3.0f\n", x }' # which returns the value 4 as expected, but are there any other methods that can be used? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ:

Data file access on different path (drive)

Hello, I am fairly new to using Cygwin, so hope that this query is not too simplistic. I have a bash script that integrates a lot of GMT commands and also calls a Fortran program to generate a map output. Now the problem is how to get the script/Cygwin to access two data files on a different

Hi Eliot, I can see the logic of the function, but not sure how it is implemented from the section I have: lon_min=-12 lon_max=0 lat_min=28 lat_max=39 R_d=167 R_i=20 echo $lon_min $lon_max $lat_min $lat_max $R_d $R_i | awk "{R_t=6370; pi=3.14159;
