I'm looking for a more elegant way to do this (for more than >100 columns):
awk '{a[$1]+=$4}{b[$1]+=$5}{c[$1]+=$6}{d[$1]+=$7}{e[$1]+=$8}{f[$1]+=$9}{g[$1]+=$10}END{for(i in a) print i,a[i],b[i],c[i],d[i],e[i],f[i],g[i]}'
Here is the input:
a1 1 1 2 2
a2 2 5 3 7
a2 2 3 3 8
a3 1 4 6 1
a3 1 7 9 4
a3 1 2 4 2
and output:
a1 1 1 2 2
a2 4 8 6 15
a3 3 13 19 7
Thanks :)
I break the one-liner down into lines, to make it easier to read.
awk '{n[$1];for(i=2;i<=NF;i++)a[$1,i]+=$i}
END{for(x in n){
printf "%s ", x
for(y=2;y<=NF;y++)printf "%s%s", a[x,y],(y==NF?ORS:FS)
}
}' file
this awk command should work with your 100 columns file.
test with your file:
kent$ cat f
a1 1 1 2 2
a2 2 5 3 7
a2 2 3 3 8
a3 1 4 6 1
a3 1 7 9 4
a3 1 2 4 2
kent$ awk '{n[$1];for(i=2;i<=NF;i++)a[$1,i]+=$i}END{for(x in n){printf "%s ", x;for(y=2;y<=NF;y++)printf "%s%s", a[x,y],(y==NF?ORS:OFS)}}' f
a1 1 1 2 2
a2 4 8 6 15
a3 3 13 19 7
