script to find the average number or files?
Anyone has a script or command in UNIX that can take 4 to five different numbers and calculate the average?

As it happens, I just wrote one.

Code:
vnix$ cat ~/bin/avg
#!/usr/bin/perl -lan

my $sum = 0.0;
map { $sum += $_ } grep { /^(\d+(\.\d+)?|\.\d+)$/ } @F;
print "$0: $sum / ", scalar (@F), " = ", $sum / @F if @F;

You'd type in numbers separated by space and hit enter when you're done.

Code:
# echo "1 2 3 4 6" | awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) t+=$i}END{print t/NF}'
