recursive line count [closed]
- by RobKohr
One answer I found:
find ./ -not -type d -exec wc -l {} + | awk '{t+=$1} END {print t}'
There are often times I'll grep -l whatev file to find what I'm looking for. Say the output is
1234: whatev 1
5555: whatev 2
6643: whatev 3
If I want to then just extract the lines between 1234 and 5555, is there a tool to do that? For static files I have a script that does wc -l of the file and then does the math to split it out with tail…
