[2.0] How to get the number of lines in a text file?

Hello!!

I have a text file with some lines in it.
How can I know the number of lines in that file?

thanks!

:wave:

Read it in, count the number of \n characters, add one.

You can't know the number of lines without reading them. The simplest way in .NET 2.0 is:

Code:

---

IO.File.ReadAllLines().Length

---

If you actually want to keep the data then you'd assign the result of ReadAllLines to a String() variable and then use the Length property of that.
