How to get the count of all the lines in a file

[Java Tip]

This example code will read the file (MyFile.txt) using the LineNumberReader and print all the line to the console and extracts the total number of line using the getLineNumber() method of the LineNumberReader.

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.LineNumberReader;

public class LineReaderExp {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		LineNumberReader lineCounter = new LineNumberReader(
				new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("C:\\MyFile.txt")));
		String nextLine = null;

		try {
			while ((nextLine = lineCounter.readLine()) != null) {
				if (nextLine == null)
					break;
				System.out.println(nextLine);
			}
			System.out.println("Total number of line in this file " + lineCounter.getLineNumber());
		} catch (Exception done) {
			done.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}
