I have to update last line of a text file with the number of lines in that file. This last line will have text such as 0.0000 and I should replace this with number lines. If lines are 20 then it should be replaced with 00020. Any sed or awk cmd help would be appreciated (3 Replies)

produced on standard output. The formatting commands are listed

negative change from the current value. Initial values for where
relevant, are given in parentheses.

.ll +n Line length (including indent) is set to n (65).
.ls +n Line spacing: n (1) is 1 for single spacing, 2 for double, etc.
