How to determine the number of lines (records) in a text file?


Recommended Posts

The easiest way I found was:

  1. Create the special character Carriage Return or Line feed. (Newline)
  2. Copy the text of the first variable to a second variable.
  3. Remove all instance of the CR or LF from the second string variable. 
  4. Subtract the number of characters of the second string variable from the original variable. The difference is the number of newlines.
  5. Add 1 to that value.

You may want to trim the original text first to ensure there is not a trailing newline set.
