This screams out for associative arrays.  (Also called hashes, dictionaries, maps, etc.)

That does limit you to CentOS 7+, or maybe 6+, as I recall.  CentOS 5 is definitely out, as that ships Bash 3, which lacks this feature.


#!/bin/bash
declare -A totals

while read line
do
    IFS="\t " read -r -a elems <<< "$line"
    email=${elems[0]}
    subtotal=${elems[1]}

    declare -i n=${totals[$email]}
    n=n+$subtotal
    totals[$email]=$n
done < stats

for k in "${!totals[@]}"
do
    printf "%6d  %s\n" ${totals[$k]} $k
done


You’re making things hard on yourself by insisting on Bash, by the way.  This solution is better expressed in Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua, JavaScript…probably dozens of languages.
