I have this folder contiaining a lot of *.cpp and *.h files. I want to get a line count of all the files and display them to the screen in sorted order of line count.
I know wc -l *.h *.cpp will display all the file names with line count, but not in sorted order.
Use
wc -l *.h *.cpp | sort -n. One job (sort), one tool (sort).
