How to use _FileCountLines function

[kkurniawan]

Hi there,

I want to use _FileCountLines to count how many lines in the file and show the number of the lines with the message box. I looked at AutoIt help file and found _FileCountLines function, but when I tried the example, nothing happens. Did I miss something?

#include<file.au3>

$CountLines = _FileCountLines("C:\error.log")

MsgBox(64, "Error log recordcount", "There are " & $CountLines & " in the error.log.")

Exit

Thanks.

Is there actually an 'error.log' file at that path location?

Edit:

Also, are you using the beta 'include'? I think that UDF is in the beta #include <file.au3>

Yes, there is an error.log under C:. I changed the script and I got error message "Unknown Function for line 2"

$sFilePath = FileOpen("C:\error.log", 0)

$CountLines = _FileCountLines($sFilePath )

MsgBox(64, "Error log recordcount", "There are " & $CountLines & " in the error.log.")

Exit

Thanks.

Use it like this with AutoIt Beta !!

#include <File.au3>

$Importfile="c:\error.log"

$file=FileOpen($ImportFile,0) ;for read

$CountLines = _FileCountLines($ImportFile)

MsgBox(64, "Error log recordcount", "There are " & $CountLines & " in the error.log.")

FileClose($file)

You don't need the FileOpen() and FileCLose() lines... _FileCountLines() will handle that....
