WC -l does not count all the lines in a file? HELP
I have a file that I need to merge with another like file. Normally I remove the trailer reocrd and merge the file and update the trailer record of the second file. I did a WC -l on the first file before I removed the trailer record, and again afterwards. The count came back the same. I opened the file with textpad and found that the file with the trailer record had 1 more line than what WC -l was bringing back. I need help from the experts on this.
