In this particular case, all I want is the number of lines, not the file
name which wc -l adds on to the end. I guess you could remove that with a
grep. Gnarlodius sent me:
do shell script "sed -n '$=' /SystemProfile.txt"
which works perfectly. (In fact it gives the answer "1" when there's a Mac
file with no LFs. whereas wc -l says the answer is "0", which is
interesting.)
