Curious about something that I cant seem to find via online references...

How do I determine the total number of lines in a text file?
And...
Is it possible to read through a text file line-by-line?

1)
how to read total number of lines :

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("yourfile.txt", 1)
f.ReadAll
response.write "There are " & f.Line & " lines in the specified file."

2) to read a file line by line
Do While Not textStreamObject.AtEndOfStream
LineRead = textStreamObject.ReadLine
Loop

You would probably have to iterate through each line and count them.

And...

Yes its possible.

This might help.

Thx for the references... although after reviewing in high detail all of the stuff (there was alot), and looking it all over thrice...

I cant seem to find a way to get the file attributes using the OpenTextFile method... (file size, creation date, last modified)

Any suggestions?
