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,

| Code: | FileRead, file, YourFile.txt
StringSplit, File, File, `n
MsgBox, Your file has %File0% lines. |

Whoa! That would create as many variables 
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! |
