Hi Everyone,

In batch code, is it possible to count the number of files from the text file

For eg.,
Text file "Src.txt" contains the following text....
uuuuu
vvvvvv
xxxxxx
yyyyyy
zzzzzz

I need to find the number of lines available in "Src.Txt" and also i need to print(echo) the 3rd LINE.

Is there any option to resolve this issue..., Please help me to resolve this issue....,

Thank in Advance.

Urs,
Vinoth



I've not been able to figure this out (If it is at all possible)try this
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set /a cont=1
for /f "delims=" %%i in (New.txt) do (
if "!count!" EQU "3" echo %%i
set /a count=!count!+1
)
echo u have !count! lins in New.txt
pause
endlocalHi friend,

When i try to execute your code, the count was not increasing.... Since I am new to DOS envrn, please help me to resolve this issue.....

This is the DOS SCREEN................

D:\>set /a count=1
1
D:\>for /f "delims=" %i in (cbs.txt) do set /a count=%count%+1

D:\>set /a count=1+1
2
D:\>set /a count=1+1
2
D:\>set /a count=1+1
2
D:\>set /a count=1+1
2
D:\>set /a count=1+1
2
D:\>
