Hi All, I have a file, contains: "jfd, jlk, slj, lsk, lskd, sldj, adk" "sdj, lkdjf, lsdjfj, lsjf, kds, skldj, slk" "kdj, kdsk, skd, skdk, sljs " ... each line has quotes, spaces, commas and characters. I'd like to find the length of each line; include everything that contains in the line (", ',', space and characters). I've tried to use 'wc -c' command in the script but it did not work. Thanks in Advance Hi All, I have a file contains several lines and each line has different length. In each line has a space. Here is a line in a file looks like: "AAB, FFC, EEE, FEF, JKL, JJK" "FDL, JLJ, KK

I think you just want to read each line and find the length: #!/bin/ksh while read line do echo ${#line} # echo the line length done < myfile.tx

It works. Thank you so much. Hi All, I have a file contains several lines and each line has different length. In each line has a space. Here is a line in a file looks like: "AAB, FFC, EEE, FEF, JKL, JJK" "FDL, JLJ, KK
