Subject: Getting Max record from a fileOS: UNIXCPU/Ram: 1GB |
Comment: Hi, I have a file with sequence numbers in it. I want to insert few more sequence numbers from a new file checking the maximum sequence numbers available in the file. Example:
oldfile.txt has
100
101
102
newfile.txt has
103
104.. I want to check if the numbers in the newfile.txt is greater than the maximum number in oldfile.txt and and if they are not already there, then insert these new numbers into the oldfile.txt I don't know how to determine the max record in a file and how to compare this. Can somebody help me in achieving the above task. Thanks,
Anil
