awk was suggested as the easiest way using:
cat filename | |awk '{sum=sum+ $1} {count=count+1} END {print "Total Files
" count " | Total Blocks " sum}'
Unfortunatly, for me, I think there was a non - numeric piece of data in the
file, which caused
awk to error out.
After having a DBMS program sift through it (showed lots of non-numeric
data) guess my initial awking
was successfull (and the columns varied in the tar report).

Subject: T64 command to add #'s...
I'm trying to get a quick idea of how much data is being backed up to tape
before
the tape drive quits and asks for "reel#2". (Since it's on a cron job, it
quits).
We would prefer not to go to two drives at present, but that's not the
question.
What I did was awked out from the tar result file, all the "# Blocks"
reported
so I have a file of just #'s line after line.
ie'
1
5
0
12
(except it goes on for a couple thousand #'s)
Is there a command in T64 that will add up these #'s?
I realize these are rounded numbers, but it will let me know apx how much
the
drive is backup up on that tape.
Thanks
George
