Problem count with wc-l command
Hi All,
I'm trying to count how many line in my *.txt file.
My *.txt file has 1937 lines.
The problem is : when I use wc -l command
the result is 1936.
Again, I did some test. I create a new file with 100 lines with text editor (Notepad ++, Ultra edit).
And when I count it again with wc -l command, the result is 99.
Could someone help me ?
Thanks
