hi,

Im looking to count the number of lines in a text file and return it as a variable. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Chip

Whoa! That would create as many variables :shock:

Better to use StringReplace:

Code:
FileRead, Var, %A_ScriptFullPath%
StringReplace, Var, Var, `n,`n, UseErrorLevel
Lines := ErrorLevel+1
Var= ; empty it

MsgBox, %A_ScriptFullPath%`ncontains %Lines% lines.

;
;
;
;
;
;

That would be slower, but will consume less memory! :)
