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

[Netmaster]

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:

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

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

Or, another option:

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
