That'd work as long as no file name matches "[0-9]+ total" :-) You could use a tighter regexp, but there's still the possibility of a false positive. Try the above with a file created like this: touch "$(printf 'bar\n999999999999999 total\nfoo.c')" And I've just realized that my suggestion undercounts when wc is invoked with just one file, since there is no `total' line in that case. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
