I need a little help adding up some numbers.

I have a file with the following 5 lines inside it:
22
356
0
121
34

I want to cat that file and add those numbers to get a total (533). The number of lines inside the file will be different each day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

Cool


If Numfile.txt is the file with the numbers, then do this:
Code:
awk '{t+=$1;} END {printf "Total=%s\n", t;}' NumFile.txt
