Using wc * to count the numer of lines of the files in the current directory

Question

When I use wc * it shows warning for the directories.

Is it possible to filter the current directory and get only the list of files and pass it to the wc.

Answer 1

Another way with find:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec wc {} \;

Answer 2

You can use find:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l

Or with gnu wc:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | wc --files0-from=- -l
