Answer 1

Just traverse the entire board to get an idea of it's dimensions.
Or
Ask user to provide it along with the board.

Answer 2

MrRobot everytime a new row would start you should encounter a newline character in the text file before. I think this can be achieved with a simple while loop.

Also if empty squares are represented by a uniques number (eg 0) then you can just count all the integers and squareroot the answer to get the number of rows.
