Variable assignment question
Hello,
I would like to assign number of lines in a file to a variable (to be passed later as an argument to a function). I am doing it like this: numLines=wc -l < file.txt which gives an error. Could somebody help? |

Code:
numLines=$(wc -l < file.txt) Or if using sh, do Code:
numLines=`wc -l < file.txt` |
