adding numbers without grep -c option - bash

Question

I have a txt file like
Peugeot:406:1999:Silver:1
Ford:Fiesta:1995:Red:2
Peugeot:206:2000:Black:1
Ford:Fiesta:1995:Red:2
I am looking for a command That counts the number of red Ford Fiesta cars.
The last number in each line is the amount of that particular car.
The command I am looking for CANNOT use the -c option of grep.
so this command should just output the number 4.
Any help would be welcome, thank you.

Answer 1

A simple bit of awk would do the trick:
awk -F: '$1=="Ford" && $4=="Red" { c+=$5 } END { print c }' file
Output:
4
Explanation:
The -F: switch means that the input field separator is a colon, so the car manufacturer is $1 (the 1st field), the model is $2, etc.
If the 1st field is "Ford" and the 4th field is "Red", then add the value of the 5th (last) field to the variable c. Once the whole file has been processed, print out the value of c.
For a native bash solution:
c=0
while IFS=":" read -ra col; do
[[ ${col[0]} == Ford ]] && [[ ${col[3]} == Red ]] && (( c += col[4] ))
done < file && echo $c
Effectively applies the same logic as the awk one above, without any additional dependencies.

Methods:
1.) use some scripting language for counting, like awk or perl and such. Awk solution already posted, here is an perl solution.
perl -F: -lane '$s+=$F[4] if m/Ford:.*:Red/}{print $s' < carfile
#or
perl -F: -lane '$s+=$F[4] if ($F[0]=~m/Ford/ && $F[3]=~/Red/)}{print $s' < carfile
both examples prints
4
2.) The second method is based on shell-pipelining
filter out the right rows
extract the column with the count
sum the numbers
e.g some examples:
grep 'Ford:.*:Red:' carfile | cut -d: -f5 | paste -sd+ | bc
the grep filter out the right rows
the cut get the last column
the paste creates an line like 2+2 what can be counted by
the bc for counting
Another example:
sed -n 's/\(Ford:.*:Red\):\(.*\)/\2/p' carfile | paste -sd+ | bc
the sed filter and extract
another example - different way of counting
(echo 0 ; sed -n 's/\(Ford:.*:Red\):\(.*\)/\2+/p' carfile ;echo p )| dc
numbers are counted by RPN calculator called dc, e.g. it works like 0 2 + - first comes the values and as the last the operation.
the first echo puts into the stack 0
the sed creates a stream of numbers like 2+ 2+
the last echo p prints the stack
exists many other possibilies how count a strem of numbers.
e.g counting by bash
while read -r num
do
sum=$(( $sum + $num ))
done < <(sed -n 's/\(Ford:.*:Red\):\(.*\)/\2/p' carfile)
and pure bash:
while IFS=: read -r maker model year color count
do
if [[ "$maker" == "Ford" && "$color" == "Red" ]]
then
(( sum += $count ))
fi
done < carfile
echo $sum
