Count number of lines in notepad 4

[juniper911]

Hello All

Can anyone provide me a script that can count how many lines there are in a txt file? I've googled for a while
but cannot find the one I need and the ones I did find do not work! I do not know enough about scripting to make them work!

All help greatly appreciated!

Cheers

J

I am using notepad and have to use Notepad!

This is on Windows 2000, the notepad in 2003 has view line number options.

I was referring to the TextPad application. Notepad 2003/XP does not have line numbering. Why must you only use notepad? Once textpad is installed, you can default to it.

In notepad, make sure line wrap is turned OFF.

Press Control G or choose Edit Go To from the menu.

When prompted for a line number to Go To, select a number way too high, for example 1000.

You will receive an error ("Line Number Out Of Range") and the line number will change to the last line number in the text document.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark

A script? SOmething like:

[blue]wscript.Echo UBound(Split(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").opentextfile(Wscript.Arguments.Item(0)).ReadAll, vbLf))[\blue]\code]

This particualr example can be saved as, say, linecount.vbs and called from a commandline as

linecount <filename>
