wc -l <file>
If you have a collection of files (.csv in the example below), and want to know how many rows are in each file, the command:
for f in *.csv; do wc -l $f; done To print the number of lines, without the filename, the cut command can be used, with the following parameters:
cut -d' ' -f1
Combining them, we can use:
for f in *.csv; do wc -l $f |cut -d' ' -f1; done
Hi,
ReplyDeletenice solution, I figured it might be easier using wc -l *.csv, but you're right.
But I found another solution:
wc -l *.cfg|sed -e 's/^[ ]*//'|cut -d" " -f1
;)
cheers
Nice solution, I never really think of using sed for this kind of stuff, but it works well!
