Hello all, I am trying to read the 5th column of a log file which is the percentage filled space for a logical drive. I am writing a script which throws up a warning if this is greater than 60. But j is taken as a string and when I compare with 60 in the if statement, it does not work. How can I change string/ascii to int or float in shell so that the comparison works?
