Deleting the blank line in a file and counting the characters....
Hi,
I am trying to do two things in my script. I will really appreciate any help in this regards.
- Is there a way to delete a last line from a pipe delimited flat file if the last line is blank. If the line is not blank then do nothing.....
- Is there a way to count a word that are starting with "C" in the first column of a pipe delimited flate file.
Thanks a lot for help and time in this regards.
