I am using egrep to extract numbers from a file and storing them as variables in a script. But I am not able to do any arithmetic operations on the variables using "expr" because it stores them as char and not integers. Here is my code and the error I get. Any help will be appreciated.

expr
EXPR(1) BSD General Commands Manual EXPR(1)
NAME
expr -- evaluate expression
SYNOPSIS
expr expression
DESCRIPTION
The expr utility evaluates expression and writes the result on standard output.
All operators are separate arguments to the expr utility. Characters special to the command interpreter must be escaped.
Operators are listed below in order of increasing precedence. Operators with equal precedence are grouped within { } symbols.
expr1 | expr2
Returns the evaluation of expr1 if it is neither an empty string nor zero; otherwise, returns the evaluation of expr2.
expr1 & expr2
Returns the evaluation of expr1 if neither expression evaluates to an empty string or zero; otherwise, returns zero.
expr1 {=, >, >=, <, <=, !=} expr2
Returns the results of integer comparison if both arguments are integers; otherwise, returns the results of string comparison using
the locale-specific collation sequence. The result of each comparison is 1 if the specified relation is true, or 0 if the relation
is false.
expr1 {+, -} expr2
Returns the results of addition or subtraction of integer-valued arguments.
expr1 {*, /, %} expr2
Returns the results of multiplication, integer division, or remainder of integer-valued arguments.
expr1 : expr2
The ``:'' operator matches expr1 against expr2, which must be a regular expression. The regular expression is anchored to the begin-
ning of the string with an implicit ``^''. expr expects "basic" regular expressions, see re_format(7) for more information on regu-
lar expressions.
If the match succeeds and the pattern contains at least one regular expression subexpression ``(...)'', the string corresponding to
``1'' is returned; otherwise the matching operator returns the number of characters matched. If the match fails and the pattern
contains a regular expression subexpression the null string is returned; otherwise 0.
Parentheses are used for grouping in the usual manner.
EXAMPLES
1. The following example adds one to the variable a.
a=`expr $a + 1`
2. The following example returns the filename portion of a pathname stored in variable a. The // characters act to eliminate ambiguity
with the division operator.
expr //$a : '.*/(.*)'
3. The following example returns the number of characters in variable a.
expr $a : '.*'
DIAGNOSTICS
The expr utility exits with one of the following values:
0 the expression is neither an empty string nor 0.
1 the expression is an empty string or 0.
2 the expression is invalid.
STANDARDS
The expr utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'').
