Take the 2-minute tour ×  I wrote down a shell script using
your'e assitence. now I need to make a similar batch.  how do I
write this:  export COUNT=$(kwcheck list -pd .kwlp -s Analyze -Y
| grep -o '[0-9]\+' | tail -1)  in batch?  This line runs a
command that gives a lot of data, and one line before the last
line says: "you have X lines". The grep command takes the number
only, and puts it in the COUNT variable  share|improve this
question An unrelated question... Wouldn't it be better to use
tail before grep? Now you grep all output, and then take the
next to last line of the output from grep (and not the kwcheck
program`). –  Joachim Pileborg Aug 16 '12 at 6:12 Thanks, but it
wotks well, it's a really short script. the more important thing
right now is the translation –  user1461638 Aug 16 '12 at 8:22
