Shell Programming and Scripting

Fedora Core 6 Linux, bash shell.
I have text files with maybe 1,000 lines each, each line is all text and ends with a 3 digit number in parenthesis and a period (074.) (095.) (823.) etc. etc. How would I add up all those 3 digit numbers? (sprdsheet prgrm would be nice but I want a command that will do it) At lease I want a command that will get rid of all of the text and the parenthesis'.
Any help or pointers? Thank you so much!

SAMPLE OF FILE:

Phase.txt
---
Phase 1 of mod release new (034.)
Phase 1A of mod release old (059.)
Misc mod (100.)
Phase 2 of mod release new (599.)
Phase 2A of mod relase old (188.)
.
.
.
.
Phase 950 of mod relase new (176.)
Phase 950A of mod release old (090.)

I just want to add up all the (.) numbers.

awk '/[.]\)$/{
gsub("\)$","", $NF)
gsub("^\(","", $NF)
a+=$NF
}
END{
print a
}' <filename>

WOW thank you! I'll post on here more often! Another question, i'll start a new post for it but I have a list of hex numbers that I want converted to decimal. It might have 500 lines in it or so... example

hexfile.txt
---
3EFF
32E1
A10B
10AB
.

.
.
12D1

can these values be converted with a shell script?

PS I think I want to donate....can I use paypal? Would it be an insult if it were just a few dollars?

$ cat hex.txt
3EFF
32E1
A10B
10AB

$ cat hex.txt | while read hexn
> do
> let x=0x$hexn
> echo "Hex=$hexn,Decimal=$x"
> done
Hex=3EFF,Decimal=16127
Hex=32E1,Decimal=13025
Hex=A10B,Decimal=41227
Hex=10AB,Decimal=4267

in my original question, phase.txt had the numbers in parentheses....come to find out just the example does. the real file does not have the numbers in parenthesis. It looks more like this:

SAMPLE OF FILE:

Phase.txt
---
Phase 1 of mod release new 034.
Phase 1A of mod release old 059.
Misc mod 100.
Phase 2 of mod release new 599.
Phase 2A of mod relase old 188.
.
.
.
.
Phase 950 of mod relase new 176.
Phase 950A of mod release old 090.

So what AWK command would I use to add all those numbers?
sorry for the mistake on my part...

nawk -f hex2dec.awk hexfile.txt

hex2dec.awk:

Code:

BEGIN {
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      hex[i] = i
    hex["a"] = hex["A"] = 10
    hex["b"] = hex["B"] = 11
    hex["c"] = hex["C"] = 12
    hex["D"] = hex["d"] = 13
    hex["e"] = hex["E"] = 14
    hex["f"] = hex["F"] = 15
  }

  function dehex(h,  i,x) {
    for (i = 1; i <= length(h); i++)
      x = x*16 + hex[substr(h, i, 1)]
    return x
  }

{
 print dehex($0)
}

I also need to add the numbers in this file...
SAMPLE OF FILE (500lines):
list.txt
Week end:009.
Week start:137.
Week end:008.
Week start:211.
Misc weeks:309.
Other text lines:767.
.
.
.
Week end:105.
Week start:198.


AWK after the colon, get the numbers, add them. Colon is only used once per line. HOW? :-)
