How to find number of lines in a file
Hi
How do I find number of lines of a file? Below commands returned 0. But, the file is showing 20 lines when I open it in editplus tool. Each line contains 601 columns. Please advise I want to incorporate some word at the begining of each of those 20 lines -Somesh $ wc -l < ./somesh_test 0 $ cat ./somesh_test |wc -l 0 $ ls -ltr somesh_test -rw-r--r-- 1 edwapps edw 11419 Dec 19 16:07 somesh_test $ file somesh_test somesh_test: ascii text

I suspect it's one line without an end of line character at the end.
What happens if you run it through head -1? Do you get the whole thing? Also try wc (without the -l).
