If I understand you correctly, you will need to iterate over the file, counting each line as you iterate over it.<div><br></div><div>You could also try using one of the externals that handles shell commands and then use 'wc' to count the words and lines in your file.</div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
Maybe I am missing something. I want to print the<br>
number of lines in a text file loaded into 'msgfile'<br>
OR equivalent object. The object seems to do<br>
everything but that!! Am i missing something right in<br>
front of me? I just need to know the number of lines<br>
in a text file that i load...<br>
<br>
Thanks!!!<br>
<br>
BTW 'msgfile-help.pd' is missing in my pd-extended<br>
recent auto-build...<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
