Question : I need to do a report in bash or perl to sum up columns b for each time column a changes

Sorry, the text is screwed up. there really are 4 columns here.

what is the easiest way to total up the total column for each "larry", each "curly" and each "moe".

I would like to device the sum by 1024000 to turn bytes to MB.

Tried it with Bash and the results were not good. Is there a good way to do it in Perl ?

I tried excel and it munged it up badly.

This will need to be done 4 times a day so I do not want to do it manually :)

             #!/bin/sh
 
FILE=./file.txt
 
for name in `cat ${FILE} | awk '!/^client/ {print $1}' | sort -u`; do
   TOTAL=`echo \`grep "^${name}" file.txt | awk '{print $2}'\` | tr " " "+" | bc`
   TOTAL_MB=`echo "scale=2; $TOTAL/(1024*1024)" | bc`
   echo total_mb for $name: ${TOTAL_MB}
done
