... |xargs|tr \  +|bc
... |paste -sd+ -|bc

第一个命令只是多了一个符号(注意，它必须在反斜杠后面有两个空格!)，但它处理列中有空行的情况，而第二个命令导致带有额外加号的无效表达式。

例如:

echo "2
3
5

" | paste -sd+ -

结果

2+3+5++

哪个BC不能处理，而

echo "2
3
5

" | xargs | tr \  +

给出一个有效表达式

 2+3+5 

哪些可以被导入BC以获得最终结果

# 1.  set numeric format to eliminate rounding errors
# 1.1 had to reset numeric format from 12.2f to .2f 95/05/16
#     when a computed number is assigned to a variable ( $x = (-1 * $x) )
#     it causes $x to use the OFMT so -1.23 = "________-1.23" vs "-1.23"
#     and that causes my #5 (negative check) to not work correctly because
#     the index returns a number >1 and to the neg neg than becomes a positive
#     this only occurs if the number happened to b a "(" neg number
# 2.  find the field we want to add up (comes from the shell or defaults
#     to the last field "NF") in the file
# 3.  check for a dollar sign ($) in the number - if there get rid of it
#     so we may add it correctly - $12 $1$2 $1$2$ $$1$$2$$ all = 12
# 4.  check for a comma (,) in the number - if there get rid of it so we
#     may add it correctly - 1,2 12, 1,,2 1,,2,, all = 12   (,12=0)
# 5.  check for negative numbers
# 6.  if x is a negative number in the form 999- "make" it a recognized
#     number like -999 - if x is a negative number like -999 already
#     the test fails (y is not >1) and this "true" negative is not made
#     positive
# 7.  accumulate the total
# 8.  if x is a negative number in the form (999) "make it a recognized
#     number like -999

如果你只想使用shell脚本而不使用awk或其他解释器，你可以使用下面的脚本:

#!/bin/bash

total=0

for number in `cat files.txt | xargs ls -l | cut -c 23-30`; do
   let total=$total+$number
done

echo $total

我喜欢使用....

echo "
1
2
3 " | sed -e 's,$, + p,g' | dc 

它们会显示每一行的和…

适用于这种情况:

ls -ld $(< file.txt) | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e 's,$, + p,g' | dc 

Total是最后一个值…

我会用“du”来代替。

$ cat files.txt | xargs du -c | tail -1
4480    total

如果你只想要数字:

cat files.txt | xargs du -c | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}'

这里是

cat files.txt | xargs ls -l | cut -c 23-30 | 
  awk '{total = total + $1}END{print total}'
