I'm afraid that this doesnt make sence:
    gives the exact output as the command insted "1"

are you saying that it is outputting "1" when you expected something else ?
otherwise - what is it outputting exactly instead ?

If it is indeed broken and you're not getting the desired "1" that one
would expect... you might try prepending the interpreter to that line
like so: "/bin/sh echo \"bla\" | wc -l"
