This is just to demonstrate the latest feature of V3.3.9.4+ Beta (V3.3.9.3 had a problem so it's not recommended to use this.)

ConsoleWrite('Number of lines: ' & _FileCountLinesEx(@ScriptFullPath) & @CRLF)

; Works only with V3.3.9.4 and above. This is a different approach to _FileCountLines using the new feature StringSplit('Text, Text', ',')[1].
Func _FileCountLinesEx($sFilePath)
    Local $sData = StringStripWS(FileRead($sFilePath), 2)
    If StringInStr($sData, @LF) Then
        Return StringSplit(StringStripCR($sData), @LF)[0]
    ElseIf StringInStr($sData, @CR) Then
        Return StringSplit($sData, @CR)[0]
    Else
        If StringLen($sFilePath) Then
            Return 1
        Else
            Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_FileCountLinesEx

guinness, does it work for larger files (100+ MB, I suppose). I made something like this by modifying Zinthose's functions (and it took 38 seconds on my pc on a 140 MB file):

AutoIt        expandcollapse  popup

#include <WinAPI.au3>
$COUNT = 0
$start = default
While 1
$res = _HexSearch("G:\WIN7\sources\boot.wim", StringToBinary("" & @crlf), $start)
$start = $res + 2
$COUNT = $COUNT + 1
If $res = -1 then exitloop
Wend
msgbox(64, "", "Lines count: " & $COUNT)
Func _HexSearch($FilePath, $BinaryValue, $StartOffset = Default)  
        Local $Buffer, $ptr, $hFile, $Result, $Read, $SearchValue, $Pos, $BufferSize = 2048
            If $StartOffset = Default      Then $StartOffset = 0
            If Not FileExists($FilePath)    Then    Return SetError(1, @error, 0)
            $fLen = FileGetSize($FilePath)
            If $StartOffset > $fLen      Then   Return SetError(2, @error, 0)
            If Not IsBinary($BinaryValue)   Then    Return SetError(3, @error, 0)
            If Not IsNumber($StartOffset)   Then    Return SetError(4, @error, 0)
            $SearchValue = BinaryToString($BinaryValue)
            $Buffer = DllStructCreate("byte[" & $BufferSize & "]")
            $ptr = DllStructGetPtr($Buffer)
                $hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile($FilePath, 2, 2, 1)
                If $hFile = 0 Then Return SetError(5, @error, 0)
            $Result = _WinAPI_SetFilePointer($hFile, $StartOffset)
            $err = @error
            If $Result = 0xFFFFFFFF Then
                _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
                Return SetError(5, $err, 0)
            EndIf
            $Pos = $StartOffset
            While True
                    $Read = 0
                    $Result = _WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, $ptr, $BufferSize, $Read)
                    $err = @error
                    If Not $Result Then
                        _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
                        Return SetError(6, $err, 0)
                    EndIf
                    $Result = DllStructGetData($Buffer, 1)
                    $Result = BinaryToString($Result)
                    $Result = StringInStr($Result, $SearchValue)
                    If $Result > 0 Then ExitLoop
                    If $Read < $BufferSize Then
                        _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
                        Return -1
                    EndIf
                    $Pos += $Read
                  
            WEnd
            _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
            If Not $Result Then Return SetError(7, @error, 0)
            $Result = $Pos + $Result - 1
            Return $Result
    EndFunc

And yes, the latest beta does have improvements... thank you!!!

Great, but my point was just to showcase the latest addition. I wanted to add this to the snippets section but it was discussed with that only code that works with stable version should be added. I think the function should be used on source/text files really.

Thanks for your quick reply, friend. And yes, the example is OK. I just found another method so I figured I'll tell everyone about it.

Good day/Good night to all... I shall go to sleep now...

Why not post it to the snippets section?
