Adding size of files using shell script












2















I want to add and echo the sum of several files using shell script. How do I start?
I have a list of them like that:



$ stat /etc/*.conf | grep Size | cut -f4 -d' '
123
456
789
101112

You can do this …



total=0
for s in $(stat /etc/*.conf | grep Size | cut -f4 -d' '); do
total=$(expr $total + $s)
done

    It requires you know a little AWK syntax (which, on the whole, is graciously C-like), but AWK is good at "sum up this column in this delimited file and print the total for me." Sometimes I forget. :)

stat -c "%s" /etc/*.conf|paste -sd+|bc -l





share|improve this answer
























  • Although effectively the same as @xenoid's solution, I prefer this because 1) less rigamarole with format strings and remembering to append the final "0"; and 2) while it costs a process, it hews closer to the "one thing well" philosophy. It's also a useful use of the (perhaps underappreciated) paste utility that can be applied to a larger class of problems: separating a bunch of stuff with a delimiter. Another example is "unwrapping" (removing the line breaks from) a text file: paste -sd$' ' inputfile.

    The most straightforward way is to use du -bc:



    $ du -bc /etc/*.conf
    5139 /etc/man_db.conf
    393 /etc/nsswitch.conf
    5532 total


    If you need to extract only the number of bytes, pipe the output to awk:



    $ du -bc /etc/*.conf | awk 'END { print $1 }'
    5532

      Also note that this gives disk usage, not apparent sizes of the files. --apparent-size option may be needed to use apparent sizes.

            The most straightforward way is to use du -bc:



            $ du -bc /etc/*.conf
            5139 /etc/man_db.conf
            393 /etc/nsswitch.conf
            5532 total


            If you need to extract only the number of bytes, pipe the output to awk:



            $ du -bc /etc/*.conf | awk 'END { print $1 }'
            5532

              Also note that this gives disk usage, not apparent sizes of the files. --apparent-size option may be needed to use apparent sizes.
