[ale] Simple script question

[Bridges, Doug]

I am trying to write a simple script that will recursively give me a line count of all of the files in a directory.  Here is the command I am trying:

wc -l < cat `find . -type f -name "*"`

When I do this, I get:
bash: cat: No such file or directory


I suspect that some of the files might be too deep, or not exist.  Also, I am doing this on cygwin, I don't know if this is some windows bug creeping in.

Doug
