I forgot almost everything about bash scripting. but I think you can do something like this.
files=(file1 file2 file3 file4)
for i in `seq 4`
do
j=$(($i-1))
f[$j]=`cat ./temp/${files[$i]} | awk '{print $2}' `
done
for i in `seq 0 1799`
do
sum=0
rowValue=0
for j in `seq 0 3`
do
fileContent=(${f[$j]})
rowValue=`echo ${fileContent[$i]} `
sum=$(($sum + $rowValue))
done
echo "sum is" $i $sum
done
0
