Thanks for the answer, can I use the same setup with an already assigned variable like I described in the edit of my OP?

I think I am having difficulties with the delimiter for the decimal point, is there an easy way to set it? It even says invalid number in the examples you provided in this post.

@Vesnog please edit your question and include your locale. It looks like you're using a locale with comma as a decimal separator instead of dot.

I'm not at my computer, so I can't check now, but it should be in the output of locale. Also show us the output of echo $w.
