[RESOLVED] How to count the lines of a text file (NOT EVERY LINE) situated on a server

Hi,

I have a text file on a web server. Every line of the text file ends with "g]" or with "a]".

I would like to count the lines that end with "g]" and the lines that end with "a]".

How can I do that?
Before I hade two seperate files and I used the following code for counting.
But now I decided to put everthing into a single file:

Code:

---

Dim client1 As New System.Net.WebClient
        Dim file1 As String = client.DownloadString("URL/file1") 'lines ending with "g]"
        Dim lines1 As String() = file1.Split(Environment.NewLine)
        Dim client2 As New System.Net.WebClient
        Dim file2 As String = client2.DownloadString("URL/file2") 'lines ending with "a]"
        Dim lines2 As String() = file2.Split(Environment.NewLine)
        MsgBox("There are " & lines1.Length & " red cars" & vbNewLine & "There are " & lines2.Length & " black cars")

---

Thank you in advance,

Andrea

Well, you have the lines store in a string array (as shown in your code). You just have to loop through that array and start counting

Code:

---

Dim aCount, gCount as integer
For Each line as string in lines1
  if line.EndsWith("a]") Then
      aCount += 1
  elseif line.EndsWith("g]") Then
      gCount += 1
  End If
Next

Well thanks a lot stanav!
I was confused! but thanks to you I amde it!
Yayyy

Or, another option:

vb.net Code:

Using wClient As New Net.WebClient
     Dim FileLines As String() = wClient.DownloadString("URL/File1").Split(ChrW(10))
     Dim countA As Integer = (From singleLine In FileLines Where singleLine.EndsWith("a]") Select singleLine).Count
     Dim countG As Integer = FileLines.Count - CountA
End Using

Great,
Thank you J-Deezy
