[Gambas-user] Some file/use or progress bar questions.

Don't know if this helps, just an idea:

Read in the file to a string and count the number of linebreaks (chr$(10)).

I am not sure: Is there a counting function in Gambas? Something that 
counts how many times a part-string appears within a string? Maybe in 
the string.-class? Implemented in C, this would accelerate such a thing 
by several factors...
