Count number of records in a text file

[puredesi5]

Does anyone know of any program that counts/returns number of records in a text file? If there is, I would like to use it in a batch script running on NT server to keep track of number of records in a particular file. I would like to log the information in a log file so I would have history of how many records were in a file on a given day.

Thanks,

Puredesi

You could just write your own vbscript and have it scheduled to run at night.

All it would have to do is open the file count the lines and then write the date and the number of lines into a log file.
