Thanks for the insights. wc is ok for me, counting takes at about 15 minutes for the files, which is ok for me. Now, just a gotcha, when I have to use awk to "crunch" these large files, it returns an error. I just realized that in Ubuntu, awk refers to mawk. I have to install gawk. Things are getting done now.
