Hi,
I'm looking for a way to get the number of pages contained in a PostScript document, so I can use it in a script.
Any suggestions?

One quick and dirty method will be to count the word "showpage' that is not commented out. But this may not give you an accurate number of pages (some aliases might be used).

I found a neat solution, finally. My initial document is a PDF, so here goes:
$ pdfinfo file.pdf | grep Pages | cut -d : -f 2 | tr -d ' '
Cheers,

Does this help:
sauron.deepsoft.com% psselect -r <TypemapsEven.ps >/dev/null [9] [8] [7] [6] [5] [4] [3] [2] [1] Wrote 9 pages, 480115 bytes
Or this:
sauron.deepsoft.com% grep '^%%Pages' TypemapsEven.ps %%Pages: (atend) %%Pages: 9
(These methods assume that the PS file has the proper DSC comments.)
