skip firt line

[TheDash]

Hi,
Can we skip first line during processing? for example: the first line shows header info.

Ex: bdf -i | awk {'print $5'} gives %used where as it should start with next line so that it will give 11% ...

Thanks

bdf -i | awk 'NF > 1 {print $5}'

TheDash,

Try using:

bdf | awk '!/^[A-z]/{print $5}'

Thanks all for the immediate help.

I also need to trim down 11% to 11? Can somebody please tell how I can substring $var? Unfortunately, I don't see substr help anywhere.

Have you tried this ?
bdf -i | awk 'FNR > 1 {sub(/%/,"",$5);print $5}'

Hope This Help, PH.
