number of fields

[ameramer]

Hello,

Thank you Boris for your answer.
I have another issue. I have columns with different number of fields. I would like to put a condition in using if.

If number of fields =8 then do.......
if number of fields =6 then do.......
if number of fields =3 then do.......

How i should write the syntax for the condition of number of fields.

Thanks,

If you use awk, $NF shows teh number of fileds IIRC.

well...... it's actually NF that shows the number of fields in the current record.
