I don’t know how to do it with BBEdit, but this shell command will work:

`find /path/to/files -name fileinfo.php -exec sh -c 'test `cat {} | wc -l` -ne N’ \; -print`

Replace `/path/to/files` with the path to your directory and `N` with your “N”.

Hope this helps.

I would like to find multiple files (I know how to do that)
that don' have a specific number of lines (this I don't know).

More specifically, I have a directory which contains a large number of
subdirectories, each containing (among other things) a fileinfo.php file. I now that this fileinfo.php should have N lines. And I am trying to locate files that have more or less than N lines to search for potential problems.

thanks for your help.
