title: WC on OSX - Return includes spaces
body: <p>When I run the word count command in OSX terminal like <code>wc -c file.txt</code> I get the below answer that includes spaces padded before the answer.  Does anyone know why this happens, or how I can prevent it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>    18000 file.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would expect to get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>18000 file.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This occurs using bash or bourne shell.</p>
