I am trying to sum up the values in a textfile
try.txt
firstNumber,1
secondNumber,2
I tried with this script
#!/bin/bash
while IFS, read -r -a array; do
     printf "%s %s\n" "${array[0]} ${array[1]}"
     for n in "${array[1]}"; do
        ((total += n))
        echo "total =" $total
     done
done < try.txt
and I landed up with this output
 firstNumber  1
 total = 1
 secondNumber  2
 total = 3
expected output
 firstNumber  1
 secondNumber  2
 total = 3
Thanks in advance
