12345678912
123458785454
145645645454
4548778545487
545645
79879878978787878


I am opening this file to perform addition in loop.

Pls. comment
Sandeep
so does the proposed solution work on the the 'a.txt' file or not?
I get a value of '79884709207988830' for the posted sample a.txt

If you do your 'stripping' [no pun inteded] with 'awk', you might be able to do your additions in the same awk script with no need for the intermediate 'stripped' file.
