I've problem for counting rows of multiple text(.txt) file. How can i use command to get the row count.  
The test files is like this.
      
   txt file1           txt file2
        a,1111          z,999
        b,2222          y,888
        c,3333          x,777
 
I've TRIED cmd wc -l FILENAME | awk '{print $1}' and the output is  
 
       3  
       3  
       6
 
if cmd like this wc -l filename (without awk), the output,
 
       3 file1
       3 file2
       6 total
 
How can i get only the total value (in above case '6')

Please help meYou're nearly there with wc and awk. Just throw tail into the mix and its done.
Code: [Select]wc -l *.txt | awk '{print $1}' | tail -1thanks..

but how about this ONE above...

$cat file.txt ... then the output

Name : razi
Acc   : 1111
Name : ana
Acc   : 2222
Name : John
Acc   : 3333

How can i select only the NAME ROW.

The output that i desire is

Name : Razi
Name : Ana
Name : John

Do assist me..thanks



There are 2 ways to SOLVE this.

Throw in another command
Code: [Select]grep '^Name :' *.txt | wc -l| awk '{print $1}'
Or do the whole thing in awk
Code: [Select]awk 'BEGIN {total = 0}($1 == "Name"){total++} END {print total}' *.txt
