Adding grep'd results in a variable
Here is one I am baffled with; I have not used unix for a while and now that I am back it has been fun remembering and I have enjoyed it, for the most past. this is in ksh.
I need to search in a file for the line with X1 and cut columns 20-25, put them into a variable, added them (dollar amounts with no decimal), then display the answer in a new variable. Here is what ALMOST works.
num=`grep "^X1" filename|cut -c20-25`
What this does is display the variable ($num) as 000351 000656 001254 009558
The number of entries in the variable $num in dynamic. So, I guess what I need help with is adding the numbers in the variable $num. Any assistance will be thankful....

NAME
Num - Operation on arbitrary-precision numbers.
Module
Module Num
Documentation
Module Num
: sig end
Operation on arbitrary-precision numbers.
Numbers (type num ) are arbitrary-precision rational numbers, plus the special elements 1/0 (infinity) and 0/0 (undefined).
type num =
| Int of int
| Big_int of Big_int.big_int
| Ratio of Ratio.ratio
The type of numbers.
=== Arithmetic operations ===
val (+/) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.add_num .
val add_num : num -> num -> num
Addition
val minus_num : num -> num
Unary negation.
val (-/) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.sub_num .
val sub_num : num -> num -> num
Subtraction
val ( */ ) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.mult_num .
val mult_num : num -> num -> num
Multiplication
val square_num : num -> num
Squaring
val (//) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.div_num .
val div_num : num -> num -> num
Division
val quo_num : num -> num -> num
Euclidean division: quotient.
val mod_num : num -> num -> num
Euclidean division: remainder.
val ( **/ ) : num -> num -> num
Same as Num.power_num .
val power_num : num -> num -> num
Exponentiation
val abs_num : num -> num
Absolute value.
val succ_num : num -> num
succ n is n+1
val pred_num : num -> num
pred n is n-1
val incr_num : num Pervasives.ref -> unit
incr r is r:=!r+1 , where r is a reference to a number.
val decr_num : num Pervasives.ref -> unit
decr r is r:=!r-1 , where r is a reference to a number.
val is_integer_num : num -> bool
Test if a number is an integer
=== The four following functions approximate a number by an integer : ===
val integer_num : num -> num
integer_num n returns the integer closest to n . In case of ties, rounds towards zero.
val floor_num : num -> num
floor_num n returns the largest integer smaller or equal to n .
val round_num : num -> num
round_num n returns the integer closest to n . In case of ties, rounds off zero.
val ceiling_num : num -> num
ceiling_num n returns the smallest integer bigger or equal to n .
val sign_num : num -> int
Return -1 , 0 or 1 according to the sign of the argument.
=== Comparisons between numbers ===
val (=/) : num -> num -> bool

val approx_num_fix : int -> num -> string
See Num.approx_num_exp .
val approx_num_exp : int -> num -> string

tific (exponential) notation; the first argument is the number of digits in the mantissa.
