wc -l

Hi,

This might be a very basic question but i am begineer with UNIX. The output of wc -l gives the line count along with the filename.

$ wc -l compare_output.dat > test.dat
$ more test.dat
10 compare_output.dat

I just want the digit 10 in this sceniro. Can anyone plez help me on this

Thanks in advance
