[Solved] How to increment and add variable length numbers to a variable in a loop?
Hi All,


I have a file which has hundred of records with fixed number of fields. In each record there is set of 8 characters which represent the duration of that activity. I want to sum up the duration present in all the records for a report. The problem is the duration changes per record so I do not know how to add it up.
Please help me since doing this task manually is really very frustrating.

rasort

RASORT(1)						      General Commands Manual							 RASORT(1)

NAME

       rasort - sort argus(8) data file.

COPYRIGHT

       Copyright (c) 2000-2003 QoSient. All rights reserved.

SYNOPSIS

       rasort [[-M sortmode] [sortmode] ...]  [raoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       Rasort  reads  argus  data  from an argus-data source, sorts the records based on the criteria specified on the command line, and outputs a
       valid argus-stream.

OPTIONS

       Rasort, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options including filtering of input argus records through a terminating  filter
       expression.  See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options.  rasort(1) specific options are:

       -M sortmode    Supported sortmodes are:
	      time	     record start time <default>
	      startime	     record start time <default>
	      lasttime	     record last time.
	      trans	     aggregation record count.
	      dur	     record total duration.
	      avgdur	     record average duration.
	      saddr	     source IP addr.
	      daddr	     destination IP addr.
	      proto	     transaction protocol.
	      sport	     source port number.
	      dport	     destination port number.
	      stos	     source TOS byte value.
	      dtos	     destination TOS byte value.
	      sttl	     src -> dst TTL value.
	      dttl	     dst -> src TTL value.
	      bytes	     total transaction bytes.
	      sbytes	     src -> dst transaction bytes.
	      dbytes	     dst -> src transaction bytes.
	      pkts	     total transaction packet count.
	      spkts	     src -> dst packet count.
	      dpkts	     dst -> src packet count.
	      load	     bits per second.
	      loss	     pkts retransmitted or dropped.
	      rate	     pkts per second.
	      tranref	     argus transaction reference number.
	      seq	     argus sequence number.
	      srcid	     argus source identifier.

INVOCATION

       A sample invocation of rasort(1).  This call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and sorts the IP protocol based argus(8) data, first by the
       destination IP address, then by the service (destination) port number and then by the source IP address, and writes the results to  stdout.
       For most services, this arranges argus(8) formatted data by server, service, and then by client.

       rasort -r inputfile -M daddr dport saddr - ip
