You can do it easily with AWK
awk -f myawk1 /dir1/masters.txt
source of myawk1 is :
BEGIN { } END {print "there are ",NR," lines" }

My wife recently bought a book called "Unix for Dummies". I'm sure it
documents the command you need if you are using any flavor of Unix. For
Micromonopoly operating systems, either get a Unix shell emulator such as
cygwin or find a Microsoft Press book and see what it says.
Of course, any command that counts rows in a text file will need to open the
file -- there is no alternative.

Anyone whom has a good example on how to check "how many rows (without
opening the file) does a text file consists of?
What is the command?
Thanks in advance
Roland
