Hello,

I'm attempting to find the number of lines in each
file of a source directory.

Using bash, I'm using the following command:

find . -name "*.frm" -exec cat -n {} | tail -n1 \;
but it returns the error 

cfind: missing argument to `-exec'
tail: ;: No such file or directory

I've tried various quoting schemes but I can't seem to
get it to work.

I am running XP Prof SP1.

Any help is appreciated.

-Sheryl
