summing Topic is solved

[gregraphic]

Noob here...
I have been at this off and on for days.
I have searched and read and experimented but now at a dead end.

I have a large file that I have stringsplit and appended to C:\TestIn\

C:\TestIn might now contain up to 500 files.
I want to sum the individual files. Each of which may contain eg:
0.60
1.20
.008
and append to C:\TestOut, but not sum the lot. So I end up with up to 500 files with the individual sums in each file eg:
1.88

I have this and tried many variations but it appends the sum to the next file

FileRead,T, C:\TestIn\%A_Index%.TXT

Loop, parse,T, `n `r

Sum+= A_LoopField

FileDelete,C:\TestOut\*.txt
FileAppend, %Sum%,C:\TestOut\%A_Index%.txt

Thanks for any help.

and append to C:\TestOut ... So I end up with up to 500 files

FileDelete,C:\TestOut\*.txt ----------> with this command, you will only end up with one file

...but it appends the sum to the next file

Reset variable Sum to zero after each iteration of the loop Sum:=0

Code: Select all

loop, 500 {
FileRead,T, C:\TestIn\%A_Index%.TXT

Loop, parse,T, `n `r
Sum += A_LoopField

FileAppend, %Sum% , C:\TestOut\%A_Index%.txt

sum:=0
}
