China DOS Union

May I ask how to sum up the 20th character (which must be an Arabic numeral) in the 10th line of all txt files in a directory and display the total value in the cmd window? I don't know if it's possible, thank you.

Put the following code to run in this directory, and make sure that only the txt files involved in the operation exist in this directory:
@echo off set num=0 setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for %%i in (*.txt) do ( set file=%%i for /f "tokens=1* delims=:" %%j in ('findstr /n . !file!') do ( set var=%%k if %%j equ 10 (set num_=!var:~19,1!)&& set /a num=!num!+!num_! ) ) echo The result after addition is: %num% pause

Thank you, I ran your program for trial. Originally, I didn't make it clear before. It must be line 10, but I don't know which character it is, because it seems that this number has to cross 2 or 3 characters.

I uploaded several txt files, and the numbers inside range from ten-digit to thousand-digit. Thank you for helping me take a look

@echo off&setlocal
for %%a in (*.txt) do (set c=)&call :ok "%%a"
:ok
for /f "skip=9 usebackq tokens=*" %%x in (%1) do (
if not defined c set "c=%%x"
call set /a pp=pp+%%c:~19,1%%
goto :eof
)
echo %pp%

Use another method to complete!!! But I don't know how it works??? Hehe..........

Hehe, the code of pip directly gets the content of line 10, which is much more efficient than my code. I didn't notice the efficiency issue, which is a big flaw in my code.

I uploaded several txt files, ...

　　I read your txt and found that the numbers are displayed in columns. This is even easier, but I don't know which column of numbers you want to add. Please specify.

Namejm, you are being too modest. Your position in the union is unshakable. My admiration for you is like a surging river that goes on and on without stopping!

Thanks to the several brothers upstairs

I want to add all of them, no matter how many columns, like 243+1246+21....

Oh, I'm dizzy. Regardless of 3721, just add all the numbers? This is super BT.

You always have to specify which columns' contents to add. Otherwise, what's the point of your operation?

It's not that we add up no matter how many columns. I mean, in the txt file in the compressed package I uploaded, there are all three forms, namely ten-digit, hundred-digit, thousand-digit. The 10th line in a txt file may be ten-digit, or hundred-digit, or thousand-digit, but there is always a number, and the position of this number is basically fixed. I found that the last digit (units digit) of the numbers in several txt files is always in a fixed character position.

For example, in 1.txt, the 10th line is 123; in 2.txt, the 10th line is 1234; in 3.txt, the 10th line is 34. The positions of the units digits 3, 4, 4 above should be aligned.

Thank you for your enthusiastic help!!! :P

This can ignore where the number is in the character position, you just need to tell me which column of numbers to add—you can't even not understand the meaning of a column, because I find that you haven't always told me which column to process, but always talking about a certain character position. And the content you exemplified doesn't match the uploaded text content, I can't know your real meaning—you'd better give examples based on the content of the file you uploaded.

You just need to tell me which column's numbers to add. The numbers are random, and they might be ten-digit, hundred-digit, or thousand-digit. How can I determine which column's numbers to add?

And the content you exemplified does not match the uploaded text content. The form is the same, just changing a number. There are these txt files in the directory. There is no regulation that there must be several hundred-digit numbers, several thousand-digit numbers, and several single-digit numbers, but their position, that is, the position of the single-digit number, is always fixed in the 10th line of this txt file. I can't count exactly which column it is fixed in because I don't know where to start counting the first column when making the program.

Character position = column

　　Oh my god, is there such an equation? If you think so, then I really can't help you.
