Problem:

Well, I have a text file containing thousands of lines possibly. I am willing to give them a count (if possible). What is the easiest and efficient way to write a program to get number of lines in a file python? Please, keep it simple so that I can understand the code easily.
Thanks.

Solution:

Yes, you can easily read a text file and count the line from it by using the .split() function and a for-loop.

Check the code snippet below:

file = open("work.txt","r") 
Count = 0  
Content = file.read() 
LineList = Content.split("\n") 
  
for n in LineList: 
    if n: 
        Count += 1          
print("This is the number of lines in the file") 
print(Count)

This should help you. Thanks.
