Hi All, The need: To know how many rows are in an Excel or Text file.
Overview: We are working with large Excel documents which contain upwards of 750K rows and we need to import each row into a 4D application to create records. In advance of the import process I would like to know how may rows to expect. Currently we have a process that opens the document, loads the text, loops through with the Position command and counts Carriage Returns (delimiter) and returns the number. This is slow and a waste of resources… Questions: What is the most efficient way to count the number of occurrences of a specific character in a large document? Specifically, What are you doing to count Excel rows (or CR delimited text files) in a similar scenario? Thanks!
