I'm looking for an easy way to total a column of numbers in a

large text file. Normally I copy the text file into BBEdit, use
option-select to select just the column of numbers, and then I
paste them
into Excel where I type in a formula to sum everything up.
Does anyone know of a way that I could possibly sum the numbers
right within
BBEdit, after selecting the column? Would this be easy to do with
AppleScript?
I have this little perl snippet
---
#! /usr/bin/perl
use List::Util qw( sum );
print sum( <> );

as a Unix filter which I think does what you want. Option-select the
numbers then run the filter should get you the sum.
