Counting lines in a txt file saves with spaces and filename
0
I am simply trying to find the number of lines in a file and saving that number in a text file
mC=$(wc -l file.txt)
echo "${mC}" >> count.txt
However the result is something like
<space><space><space>3423423 file.txt
Why is there spaces at start and why the filename is also storing.
