cat files.txt | awk '{ total += $1} END {print total}'

您可以使用awk来做同样的事情，它甚至会跳过非整数

$ cat files.txt
1
2.3
3.4
ew
1

$ cat files.txt | awk '{ total += $1} END {print total}'
7.7

或者您可以使用ls命令并计算人类可读的输出

$ ls -l | awk '{ sum += $5} END  {hum[1024^3]="Gb"; hum[1024^2]="Mb"; hum[1024]="Kb"; for (x=1024^3; x>=1024; x/=1024) { if (sum>=x) { printf "%.2f %s\n",sum/x,hum[x]; break; } } if (sum<1024) print "1kb"; }'

# 1.  set numeric format to eliminate rounding errors

#     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"

粘贴不是必需的。只要files.txt包含一个或多个有效文件名，就可以执行以下操作:

<files.txt xargs stat -c %s | paste -sd+ | bc

如果没有文件，Cat不需要插入0。如果没有管道，也许在脚本中更方便，您可以使用:

(xargs -a files.txt stat -c %s || echo 0) | paste -sd+ | bc

当你有统计时，整个ls -l然后cut是相当令人费解的。它也容易受到ls -l的确切格式的影响(直到我改变了cut的列号才起作用)。

此外，固定无用的使用猫。

<files.txt xargs stat -c %s | paste -sd+ - | bc

这里是

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

... |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
