word count showing wrong number of lines
Hi ,
I am using SUN OS Version 5.6.
I have a file that contains records of length 270. when I do 'set nu' in vi editor, I get the count as 86. whereas when I do "wc -l" on the command prompt, it shows the count as only 85. this is very strange. why would the 'wc' show 1 record less. The job that processed the file shows in the log that it loaded 86 records.
I checked the last record in that file and it is exactly the same as the other records and of same record length.
can anyone answer my question pls.
