I have a log file. For every line with a specific number, I want to sum the last number of those lines. To grep and cut is no problem but I don't know how to sum the numbers. I tried some solutions from StackExchange but didn't get them to work in my case.
This is what I have so far:
grep "30201" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|"
30201 are the lines I'm looking for.
I want to sum the last numbers 650, 1389 and 945

You can take help from paste
to serialize the numbers in a format suitable for bc
to do the addition:
% grep "30201" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|"
650
1389
945
% grep "30201" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|" | paste -sd+
650+1389+945
% grep "30201" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|" | paste -sd+ | bc
2984
If you have grep
with PCRE, you can do it with grep
alone using postive lookbehind:
% grep -Po '|30201|.*|Kd+' logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|" | paste -sd+ | bc
2984
With awk
alone:
% awk -F'|' '$3 == 30201 {sum+=$NF}; END{print sum}' logfile.txt
2984
-F'|'
sets the field separator as|
$3 == 30201 {sum+=$NF}
adds up the last field's values if the third field is30201
END{print sum}
prints thesum
at theEND
Thanks!grep "30201" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|" | paste -sd+
dind't work for me, I got this errors(standard_in) 1: illegal character: ^M
. But the solution withgrep -Po '|30201|.*|Kd+'
works. This is great!

Note that thegrep
solution does not care in what column the number is found, or whether the number is just a substring of a longer number. Theawk
solution is safer in this respect. Thegrep
solution could be improved by first cutting and the matching the number at the start of the line (followed by|
) with proper anchoring.

Bash solution.
#!/bin/bash
pa=0 ; s=0 ;
while read a b ; do
if [ "$a" == "$pa" ] ; then
s=$(($s+$b)) ;
else
if [ "$pa" != 0 ] ; then
echo $pa $s ;
fi ;
pa=$a ; s=$b ;
fi ;
done < <(cat j.txt | awk -F'|' '{printf("%s %sn",$3,$6)}' | sort -n)
echo $pa $s
Init Previous A and SUM
Cut down the input to fields 3 and 6 and sort them by number
Loop as long as field 3 stays the same, add field 6 to the SUM
if field 3 changes but the Previous A is not 0, output the Previous A and the SUM and reinit Previous A to a and SUM to last field 6 read.
Output last Previous A and SUM.
Output of the given input:
00788 1950
03361 2334
08385 650
08767 650
10234 945
28774 2689
30201 2984
34032 1389
43097 945
Given you are using awk anyway to select the third and sixth columns, you should go the extra steps and sum things inside awk. This would give you something likeawk -F'|' '{s[$3]+=$6}END{ for (i in s) { print i, s[i] }}' | sort
- GNU awk has a builtinasort
which could also be used rather than an external sort.

There is nothing really wrong with your grep and cut command. You could make it more robust by using "|30201|" as the search pattern. The issue then is dealing with the output.
Using bash:
#!/bin/bash
# get the output as a bash array and add the elements
nums=( $(grep "|30201|" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|") )
total=0
for i in ${!nums[@]}
do
total=$(($total+${nums[i]}))
done
echo $total

One little tool I keep around I call sumcol
#!/bin/sh
# Icarus Sparry. Free for any use.
C=${1:?"missing required column number"}
shift
awk '{s+=$'"$C"'} END { print s }' "$@"
which adds up the whitespace delimited column you provide. Whilst I would write (as @heemayl does)
awk -F'|' '$3 == 30201 {s+=$6} END{ print s}' logfile.txt
for the OP's problem, he could use
grep "30201" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|" | sumcol 1
or
grep "30201" logfile.txt | tr "| " " _" | sumcol 6

solution does not care in what column the number is found, or whether the number is just a substring of a longer number. The awk
solution is safer in this respect. The grep
solution could be improved by first cutting and the matching the number at the start of the line (followed by |
) with proper anchoring.– Kusalananda♦

Bash solution.
#!/bin/bash
pa=0 ; s=0 ;
while read a b ; do
if [ "$a" == "$pa" ] ; then
s=$(($s+$b)) ;
else
if [ "$pa" != 0 ] ; then
echo $pa $s ;
fi ;
pa=$a ; s=$b ;
fi ;
done < <(cat j.txt | awk -F'|' '{printf("%s %sn",$3,$6)}' | sort -n)
echo $pa $s
Init Previous A and SUM
Cut down the input to fields 3 and 6 and sort them by number
Loop as long as field 3 stays the same, add field 6 to the SUM
if field 3 changes but the Previous A is not 0, output the Previous A and the SUM and reinit Previous A to a and SUM to last field 6 read.
Output last Previous A and SUM.
Output of the given input:
00788 1950
03361 2334
08385 650
08767 650
10234 945
28774 2689
30201 2984
34032 1389
43097 945
Given you are using awk anyway to select the third and sixth columns, you should go the extra steps and sum things inside awk. This would give you something likeawk -F'|' '{s[$3]+=$6}END{ for (i in s) { print i, s[i] }}' | sort
- GNU awk has a builtinasort
which could also be used rather than an external sort.

There is nothing really wrong with your grep and cut command. You could make it more robust by using "|30201|" as the search pattern. The issue then is dealing with the output.
Using bash:
#!/bin/bash
# get the output as a bash array and add the elements
nums=( $(grep "|30201|" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|") )
total=0
for i in ${!nums[@]}
do
total=$(($total+${nums[i]}))
done
echo $total

One little tool I keep around I call sumcol
#!/bin/sh
# Icarus Sparry. Free for any use.
C=${1:?"missing required column number"}
shift
awk '{s+=$'"$C"'} END { print s }' "$@"
which adds up the whitespace delimited column you provide. Whilst I would write (as @heemayl does)
awk -F'|' '$3 == 30201 {s+=$6} END{ print s}' logfile.txt
for the OP's problem, he could use
grep "30201" logfile.txt | cut -f6 -d "|" | sumcol 1
or
grep "30201" logfile.txt | tr "| " " _" | sumcol 6
