WC Filter
Command
----------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose: This filter reads data from the standard input and
counts the number of words, lines and characters. A
report of the totals is sent to the standard output.
Format: WC [/W] [/L] [/C]
Type: Internal External
***
Remarks: If no parameters are specified, a labeled report of
total words, lines and characters is produced.
The parameters may be used to select a report of words
(/W), lines (/L), or characters (/C). Any combination
of the various parameters may be used. To allow piping
of results, use of any of the parameters will supress
labeling of the output. Regardless of the order of
parameters, the output report is ordered:
Words
Lines
Characters
WC defines a word as any string of characters which does
not contain a blank, tab, carriage return, or line
feed.
WC requires DOS 2.0, and will abort and print an error
message under earlier versions of DOS.
