Hay guys, I have two variables ( integers ) that are being minused one from the other and i am printing the result to the screen but i am getting unwanted decimals. print ($eall - $sall) / 1000; My question is what is the easiest way to strip decimals off the above result. The only way i know around it is if i piped the above statement into another varible and set that variable to an integer then printed that. I dont really want to do this as i will end up with 50 extra variables. Thanks in advance for your comments.
