Power Want to write a script for mailing line count
Hi all,

I have a directory in which files are formed daily at certain time.files have certain naming convention for ex ..

Code:
File1TTT.DATddmmyyyyhrsminsec
File2TTT.DATddmmyyyyhrsminsec

I want to take their line count when they are formed and mail that line count.

Please help how to write a script which can take line count for different files above.

Making sure I understand this.
if you do
Code:
wc -l File*TTT.DAT*

will provide a listing of
lines filename
Is this what you are looking to email?

First of all thanks for reply.


yaa i want to mail this only.

but the problem is there are several files and they keep on forming continuously.

for each file that has formed I have to login to putty and take the word count of each file manually.

So I have to automate this process to get this linecount in my mailbox as soon as each file is formed.

Suggest me which condition can i give and how to make my script waiting till all files are formed.
