Spooky numbers

Greetings learned PHP(eople), This is what my lines look like in my text file : ======================================================= Source : D:\ Dest : E:\ Files : *.* Options : *.* /S /E /V /R:5 /W:5 ======================================================== When I run the following code it takes the lines above and places them in an HTML table : ======================================================== $source = grep "Source :" logs/$file; $dest = grep "Dest :" logs/$file; $criteria = grep "Files :" logs/$file; $options = grep "Options :" logs/$file; ======================================================== This is the output on the HTML file : Source : F:\INETPUB\ Dest : D:\BACKUP\INETPUB\ Files : *.* Files : 12911 0 12911 0 0 0 Options : *.* /S /E /V /R:5 /W:5 ======================================================== Question is : What are those numbers that are inserted after the "Files" entry...and how do I get rid of `em...?
