How To Count Records/Rows In A Text File
I want to use a For Next loop to process the info in a text file. To do that I think I need an upper limit number. So I want to count the number of records in the file. How can I do that. I thought something like the below would work but it didn't.

Option Explicit
Dim NumRecords As Integer

Private Sub cmdCountRecords_Click()
If Not EOF(1) Then
NumRecords = NumRecords + 1
Else
End If
picOutput.Print "Number of Records = "; NumRecords
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
If Right(App.Path, 1) <> "" Then
Open App.Path & "ModifiedMIM.txt" For Input As #1
Else
Open App.Path & "ModifiedMIM.txt" For Input As #1
End If
End Sub

Count Total # Of Records In A Text File
Modified from original..................

This code gives me count. But when I click on my rc button it doubles my count. So, first click it gives me 12 (and this is correct. i only have 12 records in my file), 2nd click gives me 24, 3rd click gives me 36 and then it breaks.

Code:
Private Sub cmdRC_Click()
Dim TextLine$, Filename$
Dim FileHandle As Integer

Filename$ = "c:Test.txt"

' Test if the file exists
If Len(Dir(Filename$)) = 0 Then

'If Dir(Filename$) = "" Then
Exit Sub
MsgBox "File Not Found", vbCritical
Else
FileHandle = FreeFile ' This is safer than assigning a number

Open Filename$ For Input As #FileHandle

Do While Not EOF(FileHandle) ' Loop until end of file
Line Input #FileHandle, TextLine$ ' Read line into variable
NumRecords = NumRecords + 1
Loop

MsgBox NumRecords

Close #FileHandle

End If

End Sub

Count Number Of Rows(records) In An Excel Sheet
I am trying to loop through the records in an excel sheet. I have attempted it and all I can achieve is count the whole worksheet((65536 rows). Do I have to use an ADODB recordset to achieve this ? Here is what I have so far:

Code:
Public Sub RowCount()
Dim counter As Double
For Each rw In Worksheets("brutto").Rows
counter = counter + 1
Next rw
MsgBox counter
End Sub

[Edit...] Sorry I should have looked a bit more. I found a faq here.

How To Count The Number Of Rows Except Hidden Rows?
I have some sort of data on my excel sheet in 30 rows. Let say A1 to A30.

Here some rows were hidden. Let say A5 to A8 totally 4 rows were hidden. I just want to count the number of rows except hidden rows.

I just tried the following code.

Code:
MsgBox ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count

This code counts the all row which are used in active sheet. The above code gives the answer 30. but my answer should be 26 not 30.

Thanks in advance!

Open A Text File And Count The Lines In Text File
Does anybody have any good vb code that would allow me to open a file count the lines in the file (or search for a certain character and do a count of that character) close the file and then compare it to a variable count. if the count is the same then continue, if the file is not the same delete the file and exit or abort the program.

example the lines I need to count start with 100000.

So i have a count of what is being pulled from the database of 60. I want to see if a file exists, if the file exists I want to do a count of all the lines starting with 100000. and compare it to 60 if the count is = 60 then finish, if it is not 60 then error out.

thanks!!!!

Using VB .NET To Get Count Of Rows In Access DB
I searched the forum for a few hours trying to find this answer... so maybe i am going about it all wrong.
i have an access db which is an unknown number of rows( i keep adding to it) by 4 columns. i want to use a "while, do" loop, or some other repitition to display the information from the 3rd column of every row to a text box or label.
this works when i use a do while with a specific count for the number of times. i have an integer variable to add one to the row count with each pass. i want this to be able to change as the database changes. how do i test for a null value, or EOR/EOF value? is there a test i can do?
also, my database is set up with the 4 columns in the order i want them. but when i view it through my VB program, with the datagrid, it displays my column in alphabetical order... anyway i can force the column to display in a specific order?
thanks!

Count The Number Of Rows
how to count the number of rows in a text file really fast?
currently, I have developed an app that does this by reading each character in the line and then skip the line and incrementing a counter. It works very well. But the file I will count is a HUGE file, about 400MB file. Currently, a 280MB takes about 4 minutes.

I am using FSO object in my app. Therefore,

Do While Not stream1.AtEndOfStream
strPlain = stream1.Read(1)
stream1.SkipLine
If strPlain <> "" Then
intCount = intCount + 1
End If
Loop

Any ideas?

How Can I Count The Number Of Lines In A Text File?
Im still fairly new to VB...

Stupidly simple question, I know. But I can't seem to find a easy and fast, efficient way of counting the number of lines in a text file.

I have already opened the file;

"Open cdlCommon.FileName For Input As #FileNumber"

I now need to know how many lines are in the file before I go any further...

Any ideas?!

Cheers!

Count Visible Rows Only On Excel Sheet
I am having problems writing a code to count visible lines of information only on an excel sheet.

I am filtering for multiple results and want to count how many lines are visible after the filter is set.

Here is the 'best' way that I have been able to get the results...
Sub CountVis()
Range("A2").Select
vis = 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Do Until ActiveCell = ""
If Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False Then
vis = vis + 1
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I call the above from another sub 3 times(once for each set of filter rules). Even with screenupdating off, it takes too long.

I have tried to read the status line information after the filter, but since it is in excel's control, I cannot read it.

I know that this could probably be written out in a pivot table, but I have had problems trying to write code for accurate pvttbles.

Any help would be welcome...
