Help Me with the command

Hello Friends,

Today I was trying to make a script which can take the world count of the files present in the directory.
Code:
wc -l file1
wc -l file 2

problem is there are hundred of files & I want to take the count of each file & then subtract the header & trailer from the output
Ex:
Code:
wc -l file1

result is:
Code:
2890 file1

i need 2888 after minus 2.

I did the same thing for file size like below:
Code:
cd /abc/def/hij
$ ls -l  | awk '{ print $5}' | sort -n > /export/home/tush/file_size.csv

I don't want to do it manually so pl help me here with some command so that I can take the wc -l of each file substracting the header & trailer & redirect the desired output to my home dir.

Many thanks in advance
Tush Smilie

uuencode(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						       uuencode(4)

NAME
uuencode - format of an encoded uuencode file DESCRIPTION
Files output by consist of a header line followed by a number of body lines, and a trailer line. The command ignores any lines preceding the header or following the trailer (see uuencode(1)). Lines preceding a header must not look like a header. The header line consists of the word followed by a space, a mode (in octal), another space, and a string which specifies the name of the remote file. The body consists of a number of lines, each containing 62 or fewer characters (including trailing new-line). These lines consist of a character count, followed by encoded characters, followed by a newline. The character count is a single printing character, which represents an integer. This integer is the number of bytes in the rest of the line, and always ranges from 0 to 63. The byte count can be determined by subtracting the equivalent octal value of an ASCII space charac- ter (octal 40) from the character. Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character. All are offset by a space to make the characters printable. The last line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes. If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined by the value of the count on the last line. Extra meaningless data will be included, if necessary, to make the character count a multiple of 4. The body is terminated by a line with a count of zero. This line consists of one ASCII space. The trailer line consists of the word on a line by itself. SEE ALSO
