Hi I am new to UNIX and I have to get the count of lines from incoming csv files. I have used the following command to get the count.
wc -l filename.csv
Consider files coming with 1 record iam getting some files with * at the start and for those files if i issue the same command iam getting count as 0. Does * mean anything in here and if i get a file with ctrlm(CR) instead of NL how to get the count of lines in that file. gimme a command that solves the issue.
some files with * at the start
does that mean*
is the only character in file (OR) the file has other contents? – Gaffney
