how to obtain the number of pages of an sdds file with one command

[duanz]

Hi,
I wonder if sddsprintout or sdds2stream can obtain the number of pages of an sdds file, or is there alternative command that can be used in a bash script.

Thanks!

Zhe,

Just use

Code: Select all

sdds2stream -npages=bare <filename>

--Michael

Thank you Michael! It would be helpful for other users as well, if you could add this usage to the online version of SDDS Toolkits user guide.

Cheers,

Zhe,

Sure, we'll add it. Note that for all SDDS commands, the latest usage can always be obtained by typing the command with no arguments.
