Thank s
Hey madhan ,
thanks for sending the aboove command to count the no of times a character occurred. its working fine.
but i found a simple way of doing this.
Just count the no of fields between each | symbol and subtract 1 from the total count
the code is:
no_fields=`echo "a|b|c " |awk -F"|" '{print NF}' `
echo $no_fields
it will return 3 and subtract 1 from it to get answer as 2
it will work for string of any length

For counting the occurences of specific character in the file
I am issuing the command
grep -o 'character' filename | wc -w
It works in other shells but not in HP-UX as there is no option -o for grep.
What do I do now? (9 Replies)

I want to sort lines by how many times a string occurs in each line (the most times first).
I know how to do this in two passes (add a count field in the first pass then sort on it in the second pass).
However, can it be done more optimally with a single AWK command? My AWK has improved... (11 Replies)

TPING(1) LAM COMMANDS TPING(1)
NAME
tping - Send echo messages to LAM nodes.
SYNOPSIS
tping [-hv] [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] nodes
OPTIONS
-h Print the command help menu.
-v Turn OFF verbose mode.
-c count Send count messages.
-d delay Delay delay seconds between each message.
-l length Each message is length bytes long.
DESCRIPTION
The tping command sends messages to, and collects replies from, a list of nodes, via the LAM echo server. It is similar to the UNIX
ping(8) command, and is used as a quick diagnosis of the LAM network.
Unless options are specified, tping sends a 1 byte message an infinite number of times, displaying the roundtrip time of each message as it
completes, with a delay of 1 second between roundtrips. After the loop is broken (with keyboard interrupt, eg: ^C), tping prints statis-
tics about all roundtrip messages.
EXAMPLES
tping h
Echo messages to the local node.
tping -v n7 -l 1000 -c 10
Echo 1000 byte messages to node 7. Stay silent while working. Stop after 10 roundtrips and report statistics.
BUGS
There is no built-in timeout and tping will wait forever to receive an echo. If no echo is received, due to a dead link or node, tping
hangs. Stop the process with a keyboard suspend signal (eg: ^Z) and terminate LAM with lamhalt(1) or lamwipe(1) (although the use of
lamwipe(1) is deprecated).
