I have a sample txt file which has different variable lengths of 2,10,3,15.
What is the command that I need use in order to get the record count that has length '3'
Thanks
awk ' length($0)==3 {cnt++} {next} END {print cnt}' inputfile
one way using awk
Thanx ..dont we have any simple command line utility to demonstrate this..I am trying to use egrep ..but i dun have any idea about the options that needs to be appended with the egrep.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
