While loop - The sum seems to be local
Hi,

I am trying to extracting the sum of all varibles listed in a file.

The code is as follows


##### FILE1 ########

Value1:2
Value2:2
Value3:6
Value4:5

##### shell script ######


#!/bin/sh

total=0

cat FILE1 | \
while read line
do
count=`echo $line | awk -F":" '{print $NF}'`
total=`expr $total + $count`
echo $total
done
echo $total

I get the o/p as

2
4
10
15
0 => wrong o/p for total

Inside the loop the variable is getting updated. But once out, the variable 'total' is back to 0.

Any way for solving this?
