Extracting latency value from output of ping

I am trying to pull a latency value from a ping with the following command:

ping -c 1 206.190.36.45 | awk -F" |=" '/time/{print $10"ms YH"}'

But I want to remove the digits after the .

So instead of 282.117ms US

I would like to see 282ms US

What needs to be added to the command to do so?

Solution 1:

There are probably hundred of ways to accomplish this with standard Unix tools. To list just some of them:

# extending what you have
ping -c 1 206.190.36.45 | awk -F" |=" '/time/{print $10"ms YH"}' | sed -e 's/\..*ms/ms/

# using awk only
ping -c 1 206.190.36.45 | awk -F" |=" '/time/{printf "%i%s\n", $10, "ms YH"}'

# using sed instead
ping -c 1 206.190.36.45 | sed -n 's/.*time=\(.*\)\..*/\1ms YH/p'

# a rather different approach (just for the fun of it, not really recommended)
echo "$(ping -c 1 206.190.36.45 | fgrep time= | cut -d= -f 4 | cut -d. -f 1)ms YH"
