how can you check the count of file called total_files in if block?
and since you are storing the total file count in a file called total_files just cat total_files will display the count.
I am still unsure why you dont wanna use variable here? I cant see any pat of the code where it should be a file? If you want to be it as a file at the end of the code just echo the variable able store it in file.

Hi Folks,
We have a file that has null values but there are no delimiters. So all columns are considered as a single column.
Ex:
abc def 123
abcdef1234567

Now from "a" till "3" all are considered as a single column from the first row.
Our requirement is like, we... (2 Replies)

shell
shell(1F) FMLI Commands shell(1F)
NAME
shell - run a command using shell
SYNOPSIS
shell command [command] ...
DESCRIPTION
The shell function concatenate its arguments, separating each by a space, and passes this string to the shell ($SHELL if set, otherwise
/usr/bin/sh).
EXAMPLES
Example 1 A sample output of shell command.
Since the Form and Menu Language does not directly support background processing, the shell function can be used instead.
`shell "build prog > /dev/null &"`
If you want the user to continue to be able to interact with the application while the background job is running, the output of an exe-
cutable run by shell in the background must be redirected: to a file if you want to save the output, or to /dev/null if you don't want to
save it (or if there is no output), otherwise your application may appear to be hung until the background job finishes processing.
shell can also be used to execute a command that has the same name as an FMLI built-in function.
NOTES
The arguments to shell will be concatenate using spaces, which may or may not do what is expected. The variables set in local environments
will not be expanded by the shell because "local" means "local to the current process."
