I have a awk script that grabs numbers that I want. But the problem is they are in this kind of format: 1.8200E+02 In bash script this decimal notation is not supported so I was wonering anyone can help me with this problem.

My last answer was wrong, sorry about that. You can use printf for this: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>printf '%.0f' 1.8200E+02 182 </code></pre>

I don't know of a better solution... <pre class="prettyprint"><code>number=1.8200E+02 python -c "print float('$number')" </code></pre>
