Subject	Help with simple grep

I would like to return only the numeric portion of the string produced by the following script. The example returns "return character, space character, 188" and I'm looking for just "188" set pth to alias "D1:Users:joe:Pictures:Photos-Scans:500.jpg" tell application "Finder" to set x to POSIX path of pth set y to do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemPixelHeight " & quoted form of x & "| grep -o ' [0-9]*'" -->" 188" I tried removing the space before [0-9] but that only returns an empty string. The only reference for grep I have is the chapter in the BBEdit manual Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
