Count files lines in a directory?
Hy!
I have some problem. Problem is that i don't now how to solve problem of average lines of files in a directory. I have managed to get number of files in a directory, but i don't know the command to count average lines of these files. I have one "for" loop that goes true whole directory... Thanks in advance!

Use wc command to get the number of lines (if I remember correctly, wc adds one or subtracts one from the actual count). Add the total number, divided by number of files for the average number of lines.

Yes but i don't know how to use wc command in a for loop on all files. I tried butt i have not managed to make it.
Example: I have 5 files in a directory. And i want to count their average lines. @RTM - your idea is good but i'm newbie in linux. I will be very gratefoul if you guys can explain a little bit more.

to count all '.txt' files:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
typeset -i sum=0
typeset -i cnt=0
for i in *.txt
do
sum=$(( sum + $(wc -l < "${i}") ))
cnt=$(( cnt + 1 ))
done
printf "sum->[%d] cnt->[%d] avgSZ->[%.2f]\n" ${sum} ${cnt} "$(echo "scale=2; $sum / $cnt" | bc)"
