I need output of displaying total number of lines in a file as last column.

I think you have posted this post in wrong thread.

below are two methods to do your work..

Code:
a=$( wc -l file | cut -f1 -d " ")
awk -v var="$a" '{ print $0" | "var}' file

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a=NR;next}{print $0" | "a}' file file

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a=NR;next}{print $0" | "a}' file file

Pamu,
For the above code, consider a file with 50 fields. Do you think it'd work?

Hi PikK45,

Yes, sure it will work.

$0 indicates whole line, means all your 50 fields. Smilie

I tried with an example file that contains 25 fields, separated by "|".

There are text fields which has spaces as well. Thus I added
Code:
-F"|"

to the awk line that you gave. It didn't work as expected!

Could you please post your sample input and desired output.
