a pipeline for counting the lines in a directory
 
could someone please help me with a pipeline that will give me the name of a file with the most lines in a directory

i have tried wc .* and wc * to get the information about the files in a directory and it doesn't work!!! ls -l doesn't give me the number of lines either!!
