How to append word count at end of file?
Hi guys,
I have to append the word count of a file at the end of the file name like this - > "filename_2345" where 2345 is the word count of "filename". How do i achieve this using one command ? I am not allowed to store the word count in a variable and then concatenate. Request your inputs. Thanks in adv.

Best Regards.
