Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how to find a sum of multiple numbers Post 302205924 by joeyg on Monday 16th of June 2008 01:54:13 PM

One approach, by way of temp file

Just off the top of my head:

Code:
ttotal=0
ls -l ${dbname}.ix* | awk '{print $5 } >tempdat
while read zf
   do
   tvalue="$zf"
   ttotal=$((ttotal+tvalue))
done <tempdat

echo $ttotal

Note: to add, you could also try the following command with the "bc" option (calculator)
Code:
ttotal=$(echo $ttotal + $zf | bc)
