Hi,

What is the easiest way to find the total number of lines in a text file?
I know we can create a LineNumberReader and count it line by line.

Thnaks,
Mike

Thanks,<br />Mike

I don't think that the number of lines in a text file is stated explicitly (like for example the file's size). You would have to calculate it manually. Yes that means counting them one by one.

Consider Paul's rocket mass heater.
