Just for completeness’ sake:

Or yo can press ⇧⌃N [Text Bundle → Statistics for Document /  
Selection (Word Count)] which does the following behind the scenes:

     wc -lwc|tr \  \\n|grep '..*'|rev|perl -pe 's/\d{3}(?=.)/$&,/g'| 
rev|{
       for unit in lines words bytes; do
         read cnt
         printf "%11.11s %s\n" $cnt $unit
       done
     }

So, yes, it is already built in.

Soryu.
