Line Count

[Trevor]

Ways to get a count of the number of lines in a file:

1. Using the "wc" command

              $ wc -l  <filename>

2. Using "awk"

              $ awk 'END{ print NR }'  <filename>

3. Using "sed"

              $ sed -n \$=   <filename>

Just a little appetizer - nothing heavy!

Thanks for sharing! sed was the new one for me.

Another way is : cat -n <filename> | awk '{print $1}' | tail -1

Just for fun:

c=0; while read line; do ((c++)); done < <filename>; echo $c
