LNCT 3.0
Very fast large file linecounter
with wildcard support
by
Bob Eyer
Mar 11, 1991
Syntax:
LCNT Filespec [LF]
LF
Where mentioned, LCNT uses the linefeed character to identify
line terminations, rather than the usual carriage return. This
is especially useful in measuring files created by certain
wordprocessors which do not use standard ASCII terminations.
Discussion
----------
LCNT provides a fast way (perhaps the fastest way) to count up the
number of lines in very large ASCII files. Works very fast on
small files, too. LCNT is capable of counting more than a billion
lines.
New:
The maximum speed of the new version is increased about 15%.
New:
Filename input is now generalised to wildcards with shortcut
support. Makes it possible to obtain neatly formatted linecounts
on all the files in a directory, with just one command.
Example
-------
Obtain a listing of the number of lines in each file within the
subdirectory TEST; this problem is now easily solved merely by
issuing the command,
LCNT TEST (equivalent to LCNT TEST\. or LCNT TEST\*.*)
LCNT opens Filespec in shared mode.
