Hello, if you need a specific wc output field, the words count in this case, you can use the command `wc -w FILE'. Is it what you want? Regards, Giuseppe Iram CHELLI <iram.che...@loria.fr> writes: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.
