Bug in _FileCountLines? reading log files

[hacksawbob]

(Noob alert) Hi there trying to cut my teeth on v3 after a while on V2 cant seem to get this _FileCountLines to work correctly when I run it on an 2000 servers backup logs I get There are -245 lines in the file, if I copy the contents over to c:\test.txt it is correct (4 lines)

#include <file.au3>

$CountLines = _FileCountLines("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\backup04.log")

MsgBox(64, "LOG","There are " & $CountLines & " Lines in the file")

$CountLines = _FileCountLines("C:\test.txt")

MsgBox(64, "LOG","There are " & $CountLines & " Lines in the file")

the log file contains:

Backup Status

Removable Storage did not mount the requested media. The operation was aborted.

Hi,

Check your backup04.log and see if it is containing @CR @LF at the end

of each line.

Ok I give in how do I do that, I have opened it with crimson editor and used show line break, each line has one. Is there another way to get this info?

I think the issue is that the .log files are unicode text file format and they need to be ansi...

Right got it I will redirect the 'type' DOS command to a text file and alter that.

Thanks any way I'll probably be along in a bit with more Q's!
