    Likely you can read the file line by line. Lines will probably be seperated by the character '\n', write a loop to count how many of these your file has.

    thank you.
    I know this method, but I don't the code. Sorry, I am the new user of C/C++.

    Do you know how to read a file? Look up fopen(), fclose() and fgets() if not.
