How to count total lines in a file..using file handling concept in python and is there any EOF in python like C?

I tried many times..but i was unsuccessful. How to count a line,i tried count('\n') by reading file but it doesn't work for me.

So use this: len(text.split('\n')) That was what I was trying to say.

Excuse me. My hand got over delete section. I didn't want to do that. If you forgot my answer I can type it again.

First split the text of file. And then count newline character and adding 1 gives total lines 😁

No no. If you want to count newlines you shouldn't split text. Just count them: text.count('\n')+1

It gives value 1 means text.count('\n') ==0

Me, too. I can't believe that trick doesn't work. I think you better check it on different files to see what's the problem
