Wc -l

friends this command brings me the number of records but also brings the name as I can do that only gives me the number of records without the name of the file

Code:

example errror

865 salida_xygo.txt


example good
865

Some variants of wc have leading blanks.
Therefore, in portable script I prefer grep -c ^ myFileName
