Question : + : more tokens expected
Hello-

Trying to add two numbers in a ksh shell scripts and i get this error every time I execute

stat1_ex.ksh[40]: + : more tokens expected

Code:
stat1=`cat .stat1a.tmp | cut -f2 -d" "`
stat2=`cat .stat2a.tmp | cut -f2 -d" "`

j=$(($stat1 + $stat2))  # < Here a the like the errors out
echo $j

Tried may combinations but nothing really worked, and I would like to see how to do this without invoking awk or bc

Thanks for your help.
