Which would be faster for counting lines in a StreamReader:
(a) iterate through a file using .ReadLine() and adding to a counter, i++
(b) doing a .ReadToEnd() and then using an IndexOf() method to count the
occurances of \r\n
(c) doing a .ReadToEnd() and using a RegEx to count the number of occurances
of \r\n

Hi Javailo,
I would guess that option c scales better, but a small test might show
the real winner ;-)

I haven't tested but probably A for any arbitrary length of file.

Hi,
I think (b) should be the fastest, but I wouldn't expect any significant
difference between (a) and (b) since Windows does efficient disk read
buffering behind the scenes.
I think (c) should be the slowest because of RegExp.
Anyway, it's all just guessing, why don't you try all the three approaches
and post the real result here? ;-)

The only way to find out is to test it, and in fact different ones may be faster depending on size and
characteristics of the file.
(a) iterate through a file using .ReadLine() and adding to a counter, i++
This is probably the best over all considering memory considerations etc if your file is large. And
probably the fastest too.
(b) doing a .ReadToEnd() and then using an IndexOf() method to count the occurances of \r\n
(c) doing a .ReadToEnd() and using a RegEx to count the number of occurances of \r\n
Both of these will consume large amoutns of memory if the file is large.

hi,
the first option is the way to go, unless you are 100% sure that the size of
the file in advance.
The others solutions are not portable, you should use
Environment.New Line() instead of "\r\n"

Hi,
I've been trying to do line/character counts on documents that are

certain sections from the file.
So, firstly I was working with uploaded MS WORD .doc files. Using code
like that below:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
