HI,

why not using _FileReadToArray and then have a look at [0]

So long,

CODE

#include <file.au3>

Dim $file

dim $aarray[1]

$file = fileopen("C:\wfx32\failed50702.log",0)

$sFilePath = "c:\wfx32\failed50702.log"

_FileReadToArray($sFilePath,$aArray)

msgbox(0,"test", $aArray)

;$file = fileclose("C:\wfx32\failed50702.log",0)

The help file gives a real good exampler of _FileReadToArray()

#include <file.au3>
Dim $aRecords
If Not _FileReadToArray("error.log",$aRecords) Then
   MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array     error:" & @error)
   Exit
EndIf
For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
    Msgbox(0,'Record:' & $x, $aRecords[$x])
Next

Maybe use that and change it to fit your needs

EDIT - to get the index number of the array it would be Msgbox(0,'Number of records',$aRecords[0])

EDIT2 - After reading this - I agree and would use this to get the # of lines

_filecountlines requires a file path

you fed it a file handle

Edit1: plus you did not feed the output of _filecountlines into a variable...

Edit2: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ost&p=44449 talks of the speed diff between arrays vs the method used in _filecountlines
