Dirty? Really? One line of code returns the number of rows in your string. Which was your original question.
My solution was 1 line too: RowCount = OCCURS(CHR(13),FILETOSTR(m.Filename)) <g>
Benchmark it and you'll find out which one is faster and whether or not you can live with that slightly soiled sensations... ;-)
Testing showed these two pretty much a dead heat:
RowCount = OCCURS(CHR(13),FILETOSTR(m.Filename)) RowCount = ALINES(aCrap,FILETOSTR(m.Filename))
