In that case the decimal point should be removed, not replaced
with a period. That is,

tim=${EPOCHREALTIME//[![:digit:]]/}

or, as there're never multiple decimal points,

tim=${EPOCHREALTIME/[![:digit:]]}

or is there a locale where there could be thousands separators or
something like that in $EPOCHREALTIME?
