Pattern count for numeric values in aix
Hi All ,

I have a small code that checks pattern of digits entered in unix mode .

Code:
$ echo 201202 | wc -c
7                            /* output*/

When i run same command in AIX 5.1 , i am getting output with some initial blanks

Code:
$ echo 201202 | wc -c
7                     /*  blanks and output*/

What command should i use to get output without any spaces in AIX
.Please help.

Keeping the newline:
Code:
$ echo 201202 | awk '{ printf("%s\n", $1)' | wc -c

Hi ,

Above pasted code also return output after some gap .

Code:
$ echo 201202 | awk '{ printf("%s\n", $1)}' | wc -c
        7

When i send post , output 7 actually reside at the beginning .
Infact it does have spaces before value is displayed .

If u run this example in AIX and UNIX servers you can feel the difference .

Kindly share -- for this request

Opps, my bad... I put the "awk" before the "wc -c" instead of after it:

Code:
echo 201202 | wc -c | awk '{ printf("%-s\n", $1)}'

Here is an example of running it on AIX:

Code:
echo 201202 | wc -c | awk '{ printf("%-s\n", $1)}'                             
7
