Sorry . I tried for your proposed procedure , as the followings :
#awk -F 'BEGIN { FS = ","; }{if ( $3 !~ /^0 ) { count++; }} END { print
count }' HLRSubscriber-20091111173349.csv
But my CentOS server didn't return to the prompt . Can you please let me
know why it is in an end-less iterated loop ?
Thank you in advance
