Need ls to show number of lines in each file

GMMike · #1 (**permalink**) 11-19-2004

Hi,
I need a command that would let ls show number of lines in each file rather than file size in KBs.

I tried using wc -l as a source of input to ls but I found a problem cutting the file name since wc generates a space delimited list.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

GmMike.

"wc -l *" will give a list of filenames in the current directory preceeded by the number of lines, plus a total at the bottom.

Cheers
ZB
