Post #176,907 by a6l6e6x 9/28/04 11:12:08 PM Reply	Not exactly. The first number from wc is the number of lines (or new line characters). The second number is the number of words and, in your case, it is smaller than the number of lines. So, one or more of the files names must have one or more trailing new line characters as part of the file name for a total of 3 such trailing new line characters. That would include the possibility of files names that consist only of a new line character(s).
