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.

Ur,
Vinoth

Supposing that you don't want to use the ports of GNU, suggested in the other reply, you need to write a little program in some other language. The MSDOS batch file interpreter is really not up to this job.
