Hey Rod, If I remember correctly Bill's original question specified fewer than 100 lines, so that's what I was working with at the time. Mark is on the money about using `wc` to calculate the pad. Here's one example: #!/usr/bin/env bash stdIN=$(cat); numPad=$(echo "$stdIN" | wc -l | sed -E 's![[:blank:]]!!g' | wc -m) echo "$stdIN" | nl -nrz -w $(($numPad - 1)) -s'. ' For some inexplicable reason `wc` on Sierra prepends spaces to its output – hence the `sed` command in the numPad code. The current GNU `wc` doesn't have this problem. -- Best Regards, Chris -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
