Probably a straightforward task but I am still learning (self-teaching with a book) and can't figure out how to do this. Can anyone help? There doesn't seem to be any built-in function to do this.

Hi
This might help you...


int count = 0;

FileReader fr = new FileReader("yourFile.txt");
BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(fr);

line = inFile.readLine();

while(line != null)
{
line = inFile.readLine();
count++;
}

System.out.println("There are " + count + " lines in your file");
