Microsoft Scripting Guy Ed Wilson here. The weekend is halfway over in Charlotte, North Carolina. For my friends in Australia, the weekend is already over, and they are on their way to work. Of course they get to start their weekend earlier than I do. The ideal thing to do is to be in Australia to start the weekend, and then pop back to Charlotte to conclude the weekend. Yes, I have strange thoughts on the weekend. For example, I was on the treadmill earlier, and I was thinking about my favorite Windows PowerShell cmdlet. Anyway, I called the Scripting Wife while I was cooling down. She was downstairs and it is easier to call her than to go down there. Cell phones make great intercoms.

There is also a words switched parameter that will return the number of words in the text file. It is used similarly to the character or line switched parameter. The command is shown here:

In the following figure, I use the Measure-Object cmdlet to count lines; then lines and characters; and finally lines, characters, and words. These commands illustrate combining the switches to return specific information.

One really cool thing I can do with the Measure-Object cmdlet is to measure specific properties of the piped objects. For example, I can use the Get-ChildItem cmdlet to return fileinfo objects for all the text files in the folder. I can examine the length property and find out the minimum length of the files in the folder, the maximum length, the average size, and the total length of all files in the folder. This command and associated output are shown here:

If I want to, I can pipe the output to a table and create my own custom headings and output. In the following example, I display the average size of the files in kilobytes. I also define the format to omit decimal places:

I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to me at scri...@microsoft.com, or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.

That's exactly the count I want, but keep those conditions in mind in case you want something different. The wc command parses the output of your ls command, so it believes you even when you "lie" to it.

I'm involved with some projects that use an XML toolchain, and sometimes users file bugs about a file that breaks the process for them. By the time the report gets to me, it's a verifiable mystery. People have run linters to look for errors or misconfigurations, other people have inspected the file, and nobody can determine the issue.

Most files contain some nonvisible characters. For instance, wc sees newlines as valid countable characters. However, the character count of 5 hardly accounts for the single newline at the end of ab (the correct count is 3).

In practice, this is of limited use if you don't know where in a file to look for those hidden characters. After all, a report that a file has 758 characters isn't much good unless you manually count how many characters you can see. However, if your toolchain provides an error for where in a file the problem occurred, then it's trivial to copy and paste a section from the document into a wc command.

I haven't yet encountered a system that has wc and not du, but I have encountered implementations of du that don't provide the --bytes option. So far, the wc command has been consistent in its ability to count bytes (although in some implementations, there's only the -c short option).

The wc command is a simple counter. It doesn't have any special features and it's not a particularly great demo of what's great about Linux. However, it's a reliable and predictable command that does one thing and does it well. Put it to good use.

Use ^(?!).*\r\n to replace matches with empty string. Generalized version would be ^(?!.*?test).*\r\n. This won't remove empty line at the end of the file. All other lines are removed, including multiple consecutive empty lines.

[\r\n]2, matches any \r\n that occurs more then once this is Windows New line. if you have Linux or another operating system you might need to mess with this. the second is to replace it with one return line.

You can do what you want one of two ways with sed. The sed utility is a favorite on *nix and can be found for Windows from the great people at GnuWin ( ). You would download this program, and then run your command from the command prompt.

I suggest you use print the lines you want to a new file. The reason for this is that you probably won't get the regex statement for the first time around. The sed utility uses Regular Expression Basic Syntax (view the reference at -expressions.info/reference.html). If is something like a *nix path (/var/www) then you'll need to escape the / character for your regex to work.

Example: sed -n '/^\/var\/www/p' file > newfile
This will print out all lines that start with /var/www. If I filed to escape the / character, then the command would have thrown an error. You can escape a special character (such as /) with the backslash character \.

Use Search->Replace and enter a regular expression like ^[^ ].* and replace all with an empty string using Regular expression. Next step is to find empty lines searching for \n\n replacing with \n using Extended multiple times until 0 occurrences were found. (use \r\n\r\n and \r\n depending on file format). If you have very many empty lines in a row, it is quickier to use \n\n\n\n\n\n\n or even more \n:s in the search string.

I'm trying to define tables for logical design in database course and I only need to write headers of columns, but the problem is that depending on whether one or multiple columns are primary keys or foreign keys, there must be one or multiple regular or dashed lines under headers.

I'm familiar with the \underline command and basic tables in Tex, but I don't know how multiple lines can be drawn under multiple words. For example, if we have three headers a, b and c, and there is a line under a, b and another under b, c, I can's see how \underline can be used.

Welcome! Generally the enthusiasm to help those who just upload some pictures and do not show what they have tried, and where they are stuck, is not too pronounced. It is possible to do all this, of course, here is a possible start. Most likely there are much more elegant solutions, though.

And yes, I am aware that using TiKz for this is overkill, and that one can invent very sophisticated macros for all this. But I thought I could make a start in answering this (in principle interesting) question.

Line counter is the tool every writer look for once in his life. Writing proposals always come with limited words, characters and lines. If you are an author or content writer, you must have faced this fact that client demands certain words in the article or book.

As a blogger or writer you may be interested in telling the lines to achieve the goal of being informative and well written.

Although, sometimes, long articles or long informative blogs are very boring to read. But, an appropriate number of words and lines is vital and remarkable for the textual content.

Similarly, it is helpful for those who are in the business of writing. The lines rich in quantity indicate informative and investigated work. To write a poem or an essay, we need to know the line counts in particular, either to add or remove the lines.

The limit of forty lines is the ideal written line of the poem. 67 Characters per line are the ideal limit for a novel. The shorter lines are easy to read. That is why it is ideal for a written novel that counts the line and makes it more readable.

The lines must have limited characters, so it affects the interest of the readers. The lines should not be too long to attract readers, for novels, prose, essays or articles.

If you are a student, your teacher or tutor may ask you to write a paragraph without telling you how long he expect it to be. In general, educators like to see a paragraph that consists of at least 5 sentences.

Obviously, teachers want to see that how much their students have acquired knowledge and can think critically. It's hard enough to prove with just one line! Teachers sometimes establish a rule that all paragraphs must have a certain length, but it is important to remember that the specific length of paragraphs is not a prerequisite for acceptable writing.
