Long file record
riends

I have the following problem:

test.txt I have a file that has the following contents:

is a fixed-length file to the end of the number 12 has spaces, so that it is fixed length

Code:
123456789
123456789
123456789
12

This code shows me the length of each record, but in the last record just gives me long 2 which does not help me to give me long 9 as the registration restro


Code:
while read linea
     do
       largo=${#linea}
       echo "largo es: $largo "

          if [ $largo -ne 9 ]
          then
             echo "Longitud De Registro NOK"
         fi
done <  prueba.txt
