hi,a question .. why does my script work as sh script.sh and not as ./script.sh ??
also,i was trying to write a script that would filter out a pattern in a .txt file and display the count of the same. Say my pattern is king, and there are 4 "king"s in the txt file .. also there are two "taking"s .. shouldnt the count be 6? m getting 4.
command -- grep -i "king" | wc -l
looking for healthy replies ..
~cheers
Add #!/bin/sh to the top of the script and make sure it's executable. If you are not sure about the path of sh then run which sh.
shouldnt the count be 6?
yes, it works fine for me. Maybe there are special characters?
