awk - How to evaluate in bash a sum of numbers -


i have naive bash question. 

export a=`wc file.txt`  export b=`echo $a[1] - 1 | bc`

the problem cannot evaluate first element in $a. awk

echo $a | awk '{print $1}'

but not work if insert in previous equation.

maybe has idea?

you setting variable $a output of wc. since show $a[1] looks want 2nd value, is, number of words, use $1 in awk, think want number of lines, -l parameter in wc.

so on supposing want use lines. if not, change solution -l instead of -w.

the thing wc file outputs many parameters. if specify -w or -l, gets value file name. if indirection wc -l < file.txt, number of lines, don't have clean output.

this way, can do:

a=$(wc -l < file.txt) b=$(echo "$a" -1 | bc)

all together, may want use directly, without need store intermediate value:

b=$(echo "$(wc -l <file.txt)" -1 | bc)

or if want use awk, can say:

awk -v lines="$(wc -l < file.txt)" 'begin {print lines-1}'

or use $(( )) perform calculations, suggested jid:

b=$(($(wc -l <file.txt) - 1 ))

or

((b=$(wc -l <file.txt)-1))
