a=10.02
pattern=-11.01
b=$(echo | awk '{ print $a*$pattern}')
echo $b
its not working even
ALso tried `expr $a \* $pattern`
No LUCK
b=$(echo | awk '{ print $a*$pattern}')
b=$(echo "$a * $pattern" | bc)
bc is not register on my m/c,
any other clue?
$ a=10.02
$ pattern=-11.01
$ echo $pattern + $a | bc
-.99
$ echo $pattern \* $a | bc
-110.33
