Invoking external command with arguments

Hi All,

I have a file containing file names like this:

a.txt

b.dat

e.cpp

I would like to invoke wc to count number of lines for these files, so i would like to use the current line or the select part(with visual mode) as my arugment.

So how could i do this in vim?

Thanks in advance.
