Hello,

i am using wc in shell scripts

the exact command is:

    wc FILE | cut -d " " -f 2

it usually works but sometimes wc outputs the result in a different formatting, that is, I have to do a cut -d " " -f 3 to get the wc.

This is not very convenient that the wc program shall not return results in a fixed formatting.


Regards,

Iram
