Sure

 

The FLL ... code is below.  (And I am in no way fluent with C++ or FLL's so
may be much better ways ..)  

 

You 'll need a few other components but if you chase up how to create an FLL
then you'll have it sorted.

 

Once below is built into FLL it can be used directly in VFP.

Viz.     SET library to ". fll"   |   lnLines =
FllGetFileLineCount(<FilePath>)

 

 

void GetFileLineCount(ParamBlk *parm)

 

{

       

   #define p0 (parm->p[0].val) 

 

   ((char *)_HandToPtr(p0.ev_handle))[p0.ev_length] = '\0';

   

   char *srcFileName = (char *)_HandToPtr(p0.ev_handle) ; 

 

    FILE *istream = fopen(srcFileName, "rb");

       

    if (istream == 0)

       {

              _RetInt(-1, 10);

       }

       

    int numLines = 0;

       

    const int len = 8192;

 

    char buf[8192];

       

    do

 

    {

 

        if( feof(istream))

              {

                     break;

              }

 

        int nBytesRead = fread(buf, 1, len, istream);

 

        if(nBytesRead <= 0)

              {

                  break;

              }

 

              for(int i = 0; i < nBytesRead; i++)

              {

        if(buf[i] == '\n')

              numLines++;

           }

                           

    } while(1);

 

    fclose(istream);

 

       _RetInt(numLines, 10);

    

}

 

FoxInfo vfpUtilFLLInfo[] = 

{

       {"FllGetFileLineCount",      (FPFI) GetFileLineCount,     1, "C"}

};

 

 

#ifdef __cplusplus

extern "C"

#endif

       FoxTable _FoxTable = {

              (FoxTable *)0, sizeof(vfpUtilFLLInfo)/sizeof(FoxInfo),
vfpUtilFLLInfo

};

Test file of 1.67 GB correctly managed by FSO but not by VFP9 SP2 that gives
Error 43 (There is not enough memory to complete this operation).

 

Test file of 5.31 GB correctly managed by FSO but not by VFP9 SP2 that gives
Error 1103 (Invalid seek offset).

 

FSO method counts chr(10) / LF characters.

 

alines() by default counts the occurrences of chr(10) plus the occurrences
of chr(13) minus the occurrences of chr(13) + chr(10)

 

Please tell us more about the FLL and the code you used!

Many ways to do this.  I've compared 3.

 

With a text file 350Mb | 5.3Million lines . Each method reported same # of
lines.

 

Timing done with high resolution timers so reasonably accurate. ...

 

1. C++ FLL        0.4064 seconds  

2. C# .NET        1.2779 seconds :  Tip on how to do this is at
<http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=3836>
http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=3836

3. FSO              7.3874 seconds :  (using OpenTextFile etc.)

 

With a text file 2.6GB file. |  42 Million lines.  FSO died - reported no
lines and finished in 0.0002 seconds - other two methods reported
accurately.

 

1. C++ FLL        3.2426 seconds  

2. C# .NET        10.0600 seconds

3. FSO              0.0002 seconds :  FAILED 

 

So I'd guess if you are doing many of these and time is an issue then
perhaps a FLL approach might be beneficial.  Certainly if file is large
enough (probably hits the 2Gb limit in VFP) then FSO is not an option.

Ok.

 

Anyway this is the slower method:

 

loFSO = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

 

loFile = loFSO.OpenTextFile(m.filename, 1)

 

do while ! loFile.AtEndOfStream()

            loFile.SkipLine()

enddo

 

? loFile.Line -1
