  • Hmm, this seems a pretty basic thing to do given the examples given in response to your other post. At the very least you could just read every line in a file and increment a variable as you read each line (I'll leave that as an exercise to you, because if you can't work out how to do that you aren't going to be able to do anything more advanced either).

    You could also use ipcBeginProcess to run "wc -l filename", ipcWait() the id returned from ipcBeginProcess and then ipcReadProcess() to read the result (you might want to do atoi(car(parseString(...))) on what you read to get the number.

    Thought it better to point you in the right direction rather than just write the code for you. You'll learn more that way.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
