npk2210, if you are talking about adding the line count of the files this will work.

#!/bin/ksh

one=`wc -l a.txt|awk '{print $1}'`
two=`wc -l b.txt|awk '{print $1}'`

echo "$one $two" |awk '{sum=($1 + $2 ); print sum}' > c.txt

if your not wanting lines try man wc and see the options you have, hope this was what you were talking about.
