Just checked, and I did send a newer version, I even added a 0.2 version 
number in the header. Here it is version 0.3.

Sorry, the script was counting Pd-lines, not lines in the patch. Not 
much use if you look at the lines in a code-editor. If a line increment 
is done always, you could move it outside the if ...

Counting Pd-lines is useful if you want to correlate objects to the '#X 
connect' lines. But this would break down in case of sub-patches. I made 
another script for this...

The newer versions should be better as they prevent #A and #N from being 
corrupted.
