in reply to simple awk feature in perl

I'm confused as to "floating point integer" - that seems an oxymoron. It's floating point or integer, no?

In any case the ifInOctets is a Counter32 type which is an integer so I don't think the floating point issues comes up at all.

Instead of "...| awk {'print $4'}", you could use:

...| perl -ane 'print $F[3]'

    Maybe "floating point integer" is in the format 1.2, in that case, play around with echo "1" | awk '{print sprintf("%0.1f", $1)}' (prints "1.0")
