File lines


Recommended Posts

There's no easier way than to read the whole file and count the lines while reading... so there is no sense in putting this on the wishlist. Of course this would be a bit faster when it was builtin but I don't think the small difference will matter.

Func FileCountLines($File)
    Local $FH, $Lines = -1
    $FH = FileOpen($File, 0)
    If $FH = -1 Then
        SetError(1)
        Return 0
    EndIf
    SetError(0)
    While Not @error
        $Lines = $Lines + 1
        FileReadLine($FH)
    Wend
    SetError(0)
    Return $Lines
EndFunc  ;==>FileCountLines

Hi,

I Think that technically it's not possible to do it another way :ph34r:

What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel!

mmm... but it could be a built in function... if (like me), you have written in languages (if you want to call it that) like the mIRC scripting language, you know of the $lines() identifier, which will give you the amount of lines in a file.

Sitting comfortably behind the code.

But the problem is, if it's built in, it'll look identical (Except using C's syntax). Something that simple, surely, can be left up to the script-writer to write. Besides, there is a function in the standard library called _FileCountLInes which already does this (I think this is included in the latest stable build, as well).
