can some one please tell me what is the problem with my syntax
I have 100 files in one folder
1. want to read each of the line by line
2. calculate their number of the words between the first word and the last word of each line
3. create file for each file with number of words between them instead of words for each line
Code:
FILES="word/*"
for X in "$FILES"
do
awk '{print NF-2}' $X > count/$X-new.txt
done
and it gives the error
Quote:
bash: count/word/*-new.txt: No such file or directory
but some who this is not working and I dont understand where the problem is

I thought simple, count the number of fields in the field and then loop... (1 Reply)

pod2text
POD2TEXT(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide POD2TEXT(1)NAME
pod2text - Convert POD data to formatted ASCII text
SYNOPSIS
pod2text [-aclost] [--code] [-i indent] [-q quotes] [-w width] [input [output]]
pod2text -h
DESCRIPTION
pod2text is a front-end for Pod::Text and its subclasses. It uses them to generate formatted ASCII text from POD source. It can option-
ally use either termcap sequences or ANSI color escape sequences to format the text.
input is the file to read for POD source (the POD can be embedded in code). If input isn't given, it defaults to STDIN. output, if given,
is the file to which to write the formatted output. If output isn't given, the formatted output is written to STDOUT.
OPTIONS -a, --alt
Use an alternate output format that, among other things, uses a different heading style and marks "=item" entries with a colon in the
left margin.
--code
Include any non-POD text from the input file in the output as well. Useful for viewing code documented with POD blocks with the POD
rendered and the code left intact.
-c, --color
Format the output with ANSI color escape sequences. Using this option requires that Term::ANSIColor be installed on your system.
-i indent, --indent=indent
Set the number of spaces to indent regular text, and the default indentation for "=over" blocks. Defaults to 4 spaces if this option
isn't given.
-h, --help
Print out usage information and exit.
-l, --loose
Print a blank line after a "=head1" heading. Normally, no blank line is printed after "=head1", although one is still printed after
"=head2", because this is the expected formatting for manual pages; if you're formatting arbitrary text documents, using this option is
recommended.
-m width, --left-margin=width, --margin=width
The width of the left margin in spaces. Defaults to 0. This is the margin for all text, including headings, not the amount by which
regular text is indented; for the latter, see -i option.
-o, --overstrike
Format the output with overstruck printing. Bold text is rendered as character, backspace, character. Italics and file names are ren-
dered as underscore, backspace, character. Many pagers, such as less, know how to convert this to bold or underlined text.
-q quotes, --quotes=quotes
Sets the quote marks used to surround C<> text to quotes. If quotes is a single character, it is used as both the left and right
quote; if quotes is two characters, the first character is used as the left quote and the second as the right quoted; and if quotes is
four characters, the first two are used as the left quote and the second two as the right quote.
quotes may also be set to the special value "none", in which case no quote marks are added around C<> text.
-s, --sentence
Assume each sentence ends with two spaces and try to preserve that spacing. Without this option, all consecutive whitespace in non-
verbatim paragraphs is compressed into a single space.
-t, --termcap
Try to determine the width of the screen and the bold and underline sequences for the terminal from termcap, and use that information
in formatting the output. Output will be wrapped at two columns less than the width of your terminal device. Using this option
requires that your system have a termcap file somewhere where Term::Cap can find it and requires that your system support termios.
With this option, the output of pod2text will contain terminal control sequences for your current terminal type.
-w, --width=width, -width
The column at which to wrap text on the right-hand side. Defaults to 76, unless -t is given, in which case it's two columns less than
the width of your terminal device.
DIAGNOSTICS
If pod2text fails with errors, see Pod::Text and Pod::Parser for information about what those errors might mean. Internally, it can also
produce the following diagnostics:
-c (--color) requires Term::ANSIColor be installed
(F) -c or --color were given, but Term::ANSIColor could not be loaded.
Unknown option: %s
(F) An unknown command line option was given.
In addition, other Getopt::Long error messages may result from invalid command-line options.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS
If -t is given, pod2text will take the current width of your screen from this environment variable, if available. It overrides termi-
nal width information in TERMCAP.
TERMCAP
If -t is given, pod2text will use the contents of this environment variable if available to determine the correct formatting sequences
for your current terminal device.
