how to sum each column in a file using bash - bash

Question

I have a file on the following format
id_1,1,0,2,3,lable1
id_2,3,2,2,1,lable1
id_3,5,1,7,6,lable1
and I want the summation of each column ( I have over 300 columns)
9,3,11,10,lable1
how can I do that using bash.
I tried using what described here but didn't work.

Answer 1

Using awk:
$ awk -F, '{for (i=2;i<NF;i++)a[i]+=$i}END{for (i=2;i<NF;i++) printf a[i]",";print $NF}' file
9,3,11,10,lable1
This will print the sum of each column (from i=2 .. i=n-1) in a comma separated file followed the value of the last column from the last row (i.e. lable1).

Answer 2

If the totals would need to be grouped by the label in the last column, you could try this:
awk -F, '
{
L[$NF]
for(i=2; i<NF; i++) T[$NF,i]+=$i
}
END{
for(i in L){
s=i
for(j=NF-1; j>1; j--) s=T[i,j] FS s
print s
}
}
' file
If the labels in the last column are sorted then you could try without arrays and save memory:
awk -F, '
function labelsum(){
s=p
for(i=NF-1; i>1; i--) s=T[i] FS s
print s
split(x,T)
}
p!=$NF{
if(p) labelsum()
p=$NF
}
{
for(i=2; i<NF; i++) T[i]+=$i
}
END {
labelsum()
}
' file

Here's a Perl one-liner:
<file perl -lanF, -E 'for ( 0 .. $#F ) { $sums{ $_ } += $F[ $_ ]; } END { say join ",", map { $sums{ $_ } } sort keys %sums; }'
It will only do sums, so the first and last column in your example will be 0.
This version will follow your example output:
<file perl -lanF, -E 'for ( 1 .. $#F - 1 ) { $sums{ $_ } += $F[ $_ ]; } END { $sums{ $#F } = $F[ -1 ]; say join ",", map { $sums{ $_ } } sort keys %sums; }'

Answer 4

A modified version based on the solution you linked:
#!/bin/bash
colnum=6
filename="temp"
for ((i=2;i<$colnum;++i))
do
sum=$(cut -d ',' -f $i $filename | paste -sd+ | bc)
echo -n $sum','
done
head -1 $filename | cut -d ',' -f $colnum

Answer 5

Pure bash solution:
#!/usr/bin/bash
while IFS=, read -a arr
do
for((i=1;i<${#arr[*]}-1;i++))
do
((farr[$i]=${farr[$i]}+${arr[$i]}))
done
farr[$i]=${arr[$i]}
done < file
(IFS=,;echo "${farr[*]}")
