Help with wc and line breaks
Hi everyone,
I have gone through the forum trying to find an answer to this question but was unsuccessful. I am hoping that someone can help me with this please.
I am trying to get my script to recognise line breaks from a file and to give me a result for wc of each line. So basically, if you have this
This is one line
This is the second line
This is the third one
I need a wc output for all 3 lines separately. I was wondering if there is anyway to get my script to recognise a line break and to print a wc output for the line before the line break ?
I hope I am not being too confusing. Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks
SG

break(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands break(3tcl)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
break - Abort looping command
SYNOPSIS
break
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_BREAK code, which
causes a break exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop command,
which then aborts its execution and returns normally. Break exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as the catch com-
mand, Tk event bindings, and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.
EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 5:
for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
if {$x > 5} {
break
}
puts "x is $x"
}
