Hi guys & gals, I'm writing a simple shell script that finds percentages for me. The problem here is that when I do the division with expr I always get a result of 0 since it's below 1. Is there a replacement for this or am I just doing it wrong? Take a look.. This is my command. percentage=`expr $dirttl / $totalsongs` where $totalsongs = aroudn 1000 and dirttl = anywhere from 8 to 565. Thanks, Christopher J.
