Hi,

I don't understand exactly what you wanna do

But I think a bash script can do the trick with commands like "wc" (to count the number of lines, words, char... in a file), "grep" (to catch a pattern in a file) and the redirection operators (>,<,|)

hi
its ok.actually i wanted to count the number of java files in a directory which imports java.util .*;
and i did it with the xargs statement
find - name "*.java" | xargs | grep 'java.util.'
