[SOLVED] Bash -- find a list of files with more than 3 lines

Issue

I have a directory of files and I want to find a list of files who has more than 2 lines.

I know I can use wc -l to test each file, but how do I wrap it up in bash?

Sorry for the newbie question, new to bash.

Solution

You can use this find command:

find . -type f -exec bash -c '[[ $(wc -l < "$1") -gt 2 ]] && echo "$1"' _ '{}' \;
