Awk addition
How would I print out the total amount through awk? I tried using

Code:
print "Total Amount: " $4+$4;

Would I have to do a for loop to get through everything?

Total amount of what? All columns?

Code:
T=0; for(N=1; N<=NF; N++) T+=$N ; printf ("total of all columns is %f\n", T);

All rows?

Code:
{ T+=$1; } END { printf("total of col 1 = %f\n", T) }

...or what?

I just want to print out the the total of one column. I have tried:

Code:
{ total += $4}

But it is not showing me the correct total.
