Record Count and Word count ( HP and Solaris)

[la_cool]

When I do a record count I get file name and record count,
but I need just the record count and "not the file name"

however the problem in Solaris it has few spaces while in HP it does not.

Can someone assist in Both the Machines to just capture "RECORD COUNT and not file name"

wc file |awk '{print $1}'

Hi,

Here is another way to do it. Just send the file as standard input to the 'wc' command:

wc -l 185
