Please advise.

Ashu

You aren't doing homework, are you?

man bash

look for ${var:n:n}

Try awk

Code:

awk '{print $0(substr($0,1,17)+substr($0,18,13))}' data.file

Danmero,

Thanks for your rpeloy but it doesn't seem to work.
Can you please look into it.

Thanks.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
for line in `cat sample`
do
first17=`echo $line | cut -c1-17`
next13=`echo $line | cut -c18-30`
sum=$(($first17 + $next13))
echo $sum
done
