Great one!
How to put that nice expression into an alias without console complaining
when executed?
# ls -l | awk '{ SUM += $5 } END { print SUM }'
569047
# alias tot="ls -l | awk '{ SUM += $5 } END { print SUM }'"
# tot
awk: syntax error at source line 1
context is
{ SUM += >>> } <<<
awk: illegal statement at source line 1
Btw, for higher readability, it would also be great to put periods in the
resulting output like: 1.264.691
Thanks :)
