http://www.unix.com – Hi All, when i ftp the file from windows machine to unix server the record count in the file is decreased by 1. example: Say a text file has three lines in it and when you place this file in unix server from your local machine and run a below command cat filename | wc -l the output is showing as 2 but when you create a same file and same lines in unix machine directly it will show record count a 3 Any idea why it so? ---------- Post updated at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:23 PM ---------- Record count of windows file in unix server (HowTos)

appending text to a file 1 year 15 weeks ago

I am trying to count number of record in a file and then append a trailer to that file.

Trailer should e in the format as below T| <count of records>

count of records ---> this count should be one less than the actual count obtained, as the file will have a header.

Hi Everyone,

Do I need to provide record length as Record length + 4 when I'm transferring a variable block files from unix to mainframe through ftp? For example, I have a file in unix (ebcidic converted) with maximum record length of 100.

First post here, so hopefully all guidelines are followed, and thanks in advance for any replies.

I'm working on a shell script(BASH) that processes a csv file and performs various tasks with the data. All is well, except I want to use 'tee' to send output from 'wc' to a file as well as pipe it to 'cut'.

Hello,

I have one requirement. We are getting fixed length file with trailer record on it. We need to cleanse,validate and process the file.

As part of validation we have to do duplicate file check based on file name and trailer record.

I want to add the file name as last column to file, so that I can use the filed for validation purpose.

Are they only the Unix’s developed by Bell Labs or do the SCO ones count too? Are there others?
