find out the record number to which the max length belongs.
 

Hi All,

I have a huge file, in which I have used below command to get the maximum record length in the file.

$ awk ' { if ( length > L ) { L=length} }END{ print L}' abc.csv
Output: 27151

Now, I would like to find out the record number to which this max length belongs.

For Example: Record# 850 has maximum length "27151"

Request you all to please have a look at this query.

Thanks,
Vaibhav

You could use the NR variable:

Thank you so much.

It worked for me
