awk value in floating point value -- want in dollars/cents
howdy folks,
I wrote a long bash script that logs into the database and runs a number of SQL queries then sends the data into a few reports. I've got it *just* about right and have a small problem.
To calculate a "total" dollar number from US@US, THEM1@US and THEM2@US transactions I run this little command (note that the variables are all data gathered from queries & I'd rather not do the query over again -- just piece it together from the three variables):
The command actually works but the output for one value came out like this:
Tot$: 2.67824e+06
I'd really rather the data be formatted in a normal dollars & cents fashion.
Does someone know how I can set a specific format on the data so that after the three fields are added together with awk that the data comes out in $ddddddd.cc format?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
