echo "$el"
done < "text.txt"

while read
do lc=$(($lc+1));
echo "$lc";
done < "text.txt"

and still the wc is not going line by line im thinking it because wc is a built in function is this correct? if so what is an alternative i can use. Also with both word counts wc -w it is skipping the first line regardless of what is in it.

Thanks

Try this, and also check the errors you have made.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

lc=0;
el=0;

while read line
do 
el=`echo $line|wc -w `; 
echo $el
done < "text.txt"


while read 
do 
lc=$(($lc+1));
done < "text.txt"

echo $lc;

RADEAPCLIENT(1) 						 FreeRADIUS Daemon						   RADEAPCLIENT(1)

NAME

       radeapclient - send EAP packets to a RADIUS server, calculate responses

SYNOPSIS

       radeapclient  [-c  count] [-d raddb_directory] [-f file] [-h] [-i source_ip] [-q] [-s] [-r retries] [-S file] [-t timeout] [-v] [-x] server
       {acct|auth} secret

DESCRIPTION

       radeapclient is a radius client program. It can send arbitrary radius packets to a radius server, then shows the reply.	Radeapclient  dif-
       fers from radclient in that if there is an EAP-MD5 challenge, then it will be responded to.

       radeapclient is otherwise identical to radclient.

       The EAP-Identity attribute, if present is used to construct an EAP Identity message.

       The EAP-MD5-Password attribute, if present is used to respond to an MD5 challenge.

       No other EAP types are currently supported.

OPTIONS

       -c count
	      Send each packet count times.

       -d raddb
	      Set dictionary directory.

       -f file
	      Read packets from file, not stdin.

       -r retries
	      If timeout, retry sending the packet retries times.

       -t timeout
	      Wait timeout seconds before retrying (may be a floating point number).

       -h     Print usage help information.

       -i id  Set request id to 'id'.  Values may be 0..255

       -S file
	      Read secret from file, not command line.

       -q     Quiet, do not print anything out.

       -s     Print out summary information of auth results.

       -v     Show program version information.

       -x     Enable debugging mode.

EXAMPLE

       A sample session that queries the remote server with an EAP-MD5 challenge.

	      ( echo 'User-Name = "bob"';
		echo 'EAP-MD5-Password = "hello"';
		echo 'NAS-IP-Address = marajade.sandelman.ottawa.on.c';
		echo 'EAP-Code = Response';
		echo 'EAP-Id = 210';
		echo 'EAP-Type-Identity = "bob";
		echo 'Message-Authenticator = 0x00';
		echo 'NAS-Port = 0' ) >req.txt

	      radeapclient -x localhost auth testing123 <req.txt
