Unix script to delete the file if it contains a single line
advertisements
Consider I have a file abcde.txt which may contain one or more lines of text. I want a script that will DELETE the file if it contains single line.
Something like, if 'wc -l abscde.txt' = 1 then rm abscde.txt
My system : Solaris
Here's a simple bash script:
#!/bin/bash
LINECOUNT=`wc -l abscde.txt | cut -f1 -d' '`
if [[ $LINECOUNT == 1 ]]; then
rm -f abscde.txt
fi
