粘贴不是必需的。只要files.txt包含一个或多个有效文件名，就可以执行以下操作:

<files.txt xargs stat -c %s | paste -sd+ | bc

如果没有文件，Cat不需要插入0。如果没有管道，也许在脚本中更方便，您可以使用:

(xargs -a files.txt stat -c %s || echo 0) | paste -sd+ | bc

这里是我的

cat files.txt | xargs ls -l | cut -c 23-30 | sed -e :a -e '$!N;s/\n/+/;ta' | bc

... | paste -sd+ - | bc

是我找到的最短的一个(来自UNIX命令行博客)。

编辑:增加了-参数的可移植性，谢谢@Dogbert和@Owen。

管呆了:

 cat files.txt | xargs ls -l | cut -c 23-30 | gawk 'BEGIN { sum = 0 } // { sum = sum + $0 } END { print sum }'

# 1.  set numeric format to eliminate rounding errors
# 1.1 had to reset numeric format from 12.2f to .2f 95/05/16
#     when a computed number is assigned to a variable ( $x = (-1 * $x) )
#     it causes $x to use the OFMT so -1.23 = "________-1.23" vs "-1.23"
#     and that causes my #5 (negative check) to not work correctly because
#     the index returns a number >1 and to the neg neg than becomes a positive
#     this only occurs if the number happened to b a "(" neg number
# 2.  find the field we want to add up (comes from the shell or defaults
#     to the last field "NF") in the file
# 3.  check for a dollar sign ($) in the number - if there get rid of it
#     so we may add it correctly - $12 $1$2 $1$2$ $$1$$2$$ all = 12
# 4.  check for a comma (,) in the number - if there get rid of it so we
#     may add it correctly - 1,2 12, 1,,2 1,,2,, all = 12   (,12=0)
# 5.  check for negative numbers
# 6.  if x is a negative number in the form 999- "make" it a recognized
#     number like -999 - if x is a negative number like -999 already
#     the test fails (y is not >1) and this "true" negative is not made

如果你只想使用shell脚本而不使用awk或其他解释器，你可以使用下面的脚本:

#!/bin/bash

total=0

for number in `cat files.txt | xargs ls -l | cut -c 23-30`; do
   let total=$total+$number
done

echo $total
