I want to print out only the lines that have three words. I use....
cat workeditf.txt | awk -F"," '{if (NF = 3) print }' > 1.txt
The answer I get...
elm mail
elm lisp composer
elm mail biff
elm ls
elm grep mail
elm biff biff
elm ls finger
elm fk
matlab
elm finger finger
cd ls cd
elm mail exit
elm fk date
The answer I should get...
elm mail exit
I delete all spaces after each line before I use the awk script. But after the awk script it has blank spaces added on the end of the wrong answers, which I think is causing me to get the wrong answer.
Any suggestions or what other code can I use?
