with msgfile, you should be able to send [end, where( to the messagefile, which first jumps to the end end then tells you the current position (line number). the first line is 0, so you have to add 1 to the number to get the number of lines. marius.

Hello,
Maybe I am missing something. I want to print the number of lines in a text file loaded into 'msgfile' OR equivalent object. The object seems to do everything but that!! Am i missing something right in front of me? I just need to know the number of lines in a text file that i load...
Thanks!!!
BTW 'msgfile-help.pd' is missing in my pd-extended recent auto-build...
cheers mark
