get line number with bash in R -
using
system(paste("wc -l file_1.txt"))
in r obtain line number of file output
1601 file_1.txt
my problem if type system(paste("wc -l file_1.txt"))->kt ,
kt [1] 0
i need able whether
system(paste("wc -l file_1.txt"))->kt kt[1]==1600
or not..but cant access elements system commadn or printout...how can somehow check whether file has 1600 lines without reading r first...
system
returns return value of command default, need use intern
argument:
system(paste("wc -l banner.p"), intern=t)->kt
kt
string like
<lines> <filename>
and parse string.
