>Hey Everyone,
>I am trying to get a record count of a txt file without any luck. Does anyone know how to do this? I think I have to use the FGETS() function and count the carriage returns but am not sure how to do this. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks.

One simple way to count the records in a big text file when ALINES() mignt not work because of the size is to create a temporary table and suck the file in with APPEND FROM command. Then just get the record count and dump the file. However it may be time consuming.
I recently used this method to count the lines in 50Mb text file with ~500,000 lines. It took about 7 sec on PC 1 Ghz, 256 MB RAM

CREATE TABLE filecontent (cline c(254))
APPEND FROM myfile.TXT TYPE SDF
?RECCOUNT()
