As any command-line user I sometimes want to count lines in text file with well known command:
cat some_text_file | wc -l
I face the problem on Mac OS X, which as far I have it studied is connected with different line endings (sometimes I have output from Mac OS X version of Excel which uses OS X specific line ending, which is not understandable for wc -l; After changin line endings to UNIX style e.g in SublimeText everything works as expected).
SO MY QUESTION:
Can I pass somehow to wc -l
the line ending kind as somee parameter which should be used? If yes please provide some example.
