Hi,
I need a command that would let ls show number of lines in each file rather than file size in KBs.
I tried using wc -l as a source of input to ls but I found a problem cutting the file name since wc generates a space delimited list.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I want to show all lines between the first and the last appearance of a string in a file. This string is a input parameter of a script. I have some ideas with grep -n but i'm sure that I can get a better solution with SED or AWK

Hi,
When I run the diff command using diff -yt file1 file2, I get the output in which original lines are truncated.
I tried using -W switch with diff. However, that does not produce exact output as I want. Is it possible to show entire line of file1 and file2 in diff command's output?

This is probably very easy but I've no idea how to pull this out.
Basically, I need to find errors into a very large logfile. When you grep the ID, the output is like this:

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
