>>Any quick way to Count the number of Lines in a Text File?
>>
>>I have some data coming in a delimited textfile. Each line represents a normal record.
>>
>>What I did was to open the file, and loop through each line of data and keep track of how many times this was done until I reach the end of the file.... like this...javascript:document.Form1.submit()
>>
>>>*Count the number of records in the file...
>> lnNumOfRecords = 0
>> DO WHILE !FEOF(lnHandle)
>> lcText = ALLTRIM(FGETS(lnHandle))
>> lnNumOfRecords = lnNumOfRecords + 1
>> ENDDO
>> filetop = FSEEK(lnHandle, 0)
>>

>>
>>Kinda slow with a LARGE file....
>>
>>I needed to know how many lines, because with this known, I can then use this info in a Thermometer when I REALLY process the text file.
>>
>>Thanks!
