    Thanks for your reply.

    when I use the FS object as in below function it reads the lines and I am able to count the lines in count variable.

     

    function ReadFile(AFileName)
    {
      const ForReading = 1;
      let FS = Sys.OleObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

      let F = FS.OpenTextFile(AFileName, ForReading);
    count =0;  

    while(! F.AtEndOfStream){
        let s = F.ReadLine();
        count++;

      }
      F.Close();
    }

It's not a bug. aqTextFile.LinesCount is working as intended.

 

Windows platform uses the CR+LF ('\r\n' or 0x0D0A) character combination as a line break, so LinesCount counts the lines based on CR+LF. CR or LF alone are not recognized as line breaks.

 

If you wish you can submit a feature request to have aqFile recognize other line separators.
