What tool can I use to quickly find out how many lines of data are in an extra-large txt file?

posted on · Author:Document Password Recovery Master

On Windows, you can quickly query the number of lines in a TXT file using the following methods:

  1. Use the find command
    In the command prompt, use the find command to quickly count the number of lines:

    bash copies the code find /c /v "" filename.txt

    Where filename.txt is the file path. This command counts the number of non-empty lines in the file. To count the total number of lines containing blank lines, you can first confirm whether there are blank lines in the file.

  2. Using the PowerShell command
    PowerShell can count the number of lines in a file more quickly and accurately, suitable for large files:

    PowerShell copies the code (Get-Content filename.txt). Count

    Where filename.txt is the file path. Get-Content loads the file line by line, so you can Get the number of lines directly.

  3. Use the wc command (for WSL or UNIX-like environments)
    If you have Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installed, you can directly use the wc -l command:

    bash copy code wc -l filename.txt

    This command displays the total number of lines in the file.

These methods can quickly count the number of lines in a Windows environment, especially when the PowerShell and WSL wc commands are suitable for large files.
