Hi All,

I need to print the sum of numbers from different files.

Input files:

Code:
file1.out
10
20
30

file2.out
10
20
30

i want the sum of the numbers from each row from each file.
in this example, i desire to get

Code:
10+10
20+20
30+30

Any help with awk. Thanks a lot.

Thanks vgersh99. the simple code works. but i have too many files that paste doesn't work.
then follow mirni's suggestion with the wild-carded file names:
Code:
awk '{print a[FNR]+=$1}END{for(i=1;i in a;i++) print a[i]}' myFiles*

Code:
awk '{a[FNR]+=$1}END{for(i=1;i in a;i++) print a[i]}' myFiles*
