Awk number of lines
How do I get the last NR of a csv file?

If I use the line
Code:
awk -F, '{print NR}' csvfile.csv

and there are 42 lines, I get:
Code:
...
39
40
41
42

How do I extract the last number, which in this case is 42?

OK, I have found the answer.

Code:
awk -F, 'END{print NR}' csgoddess.csv
