Thanks.

How do I run this on the Unix Terminal?
# count lines (emulates "wc -l")
sed -n '$='

You can also do :

cat -n /path/to/file

In The terminal. It shows that I do not have a file or directory with that name.
cat -n /path/to/file

Thanks for any help you could give me.

/path/to/file is an example file name not a real file name

A complete filename (example, not real) is /home/mascorro/text.lis
The path is /home/mascorro
the file is named text.lis

nl <filename of your choice goes here>
