Count of Number of Lines in a File

Dear Members,

I want to count the number of lines in a file; for that i am using the following command :

FILE_LINE_COUNT=`wc -l $INT_IN/$RAW_FILE_NAME`

if i do an echo on FILE_LINE_COUNT then i get

241 /home/data/testfile.txt

I don't want the directory path to be displayed. Variable FILE_LINE_COUNT should only contain count of the number of lines which is 241.

How do we do this.

Thanks
