Hi,
The wc seems not working correctly, say for example
wc -l filename | cut -c1-8 
should only give the lines, but this your version of wc, behaves
differently. for small size files it does not reserve first 8 colums for
size so get the file name as well

All others give this
$ wc -l test.ksh | cut -c1-8
      14

Your version gives this----
$ wc -l test.ksh | cut -c1-8
14 test.


thanks
Syed
