file.countLines
| Syntax |
file.countLines (path)
|
| Params |
path is a legal path name to the file whose lines you wish to count.
|
| Action |
Counts the number of lines in the file identified by the parameter path.
|
| Returns |
The number of lines in the file.
|
| Examples |
file.countLines ("C:\\Program Files\\Frontier\\sample.txt") » 70
file.countLines ("System:System Folder:textfile")
|
| Notes |
The number of lines is equal to the number of carriage returns in the file. This will work for a PC-format text file, which delimits lines with CR/LF pairs. If you apply file.countLines to non-text files, Frontier does its best to count the lines (actually counting carriage returns) but the returned result is largely useless.
