Miguel, thanks, i fixed that mistake.

Eduard, this is a 3 part article. This is just part one. Parts two and three coming soon.

Goofy_barny, no, it's "s=s+$i". It sums the values in each field.

Go_Obama, I also support Obama :) but for your question, do the awk '{ print NR "\t" $0 }' foo.log0 foo.log1 foo.log2 > foo.txt. The other example will put foo.log11 before foo.log2.
