How do i count lines in a file?

[bills]

I need a simple way to count the lines in a textfile and return the number of lines to a variable.

Can anyone help?

#include <file.au3>
$file=FileOpenDialog("Count lines",@MyDocumentsDir,"All files (*.*)")
$lines = _FileCountLines($file)
MsgBox(64, "Lines", "There are " & $lines & " lines in your file.")

Actually my post was quite relevant considering the topic starter could not have even glanced at the help file.

_FileCountLines

Returns the number of lines in the specified file.

I mean, I love to help but the forum gets saturated with these questions. This is the easiest scripting language in the world people.
