As the title says

for /f "delims=" %%i in (l.txt) do (set/a num+=1)

echo len=%num%

But if there are carriage return symbols in the line, the result will be incorrect. How to modify it, thanks!

See if you need blank lines and lines starting with ;

All need. As long as there are characters in a line, no matter what characters they are. Including lines with only one carriage return character.

Then still use sed. sed -n $= life. Because when there are blank lines in the file, using findstr /N . life will still ignore blank lines.

The content of my l.txt is:
w

e
The content of my bat file is:
@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('find /v /i /n "" l.txt') do (set/a num+=1)
echo len=%num%
pause>nul

The result is 4, but there are only three lines??
Does it have to be subtracted by 1 like this to be correct? What's the reason for this?
Are there other methods?

You mean using VBS or JS?

Of course that's possible. But what I want is bat.

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set i=0
for /f %%a in (1.txt) do (
set /a i+=1
echo !i! %%a >>1new.txt
)

Cannot include blank lines!

Brother Scriptor,

Here's a weird method!! Haha, take advantage of a small bug in SET /A.

@ECHO %DBG% OFF & SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION FOR /F %%i IN ('findstr /n . l.txt') DO SET /A LEN=%%i 2>nul ECHO %LEN%

The effect of floor 10 is the same as:
@echo off FOR /F "delims=:" %%i IN ('findstr /n . a.txt') DO SET LEN=%%i ECHO %LEN% pause
It uses set/a to remove the ":" character after the number.

SET LEN=%%i: Set LEN equal to the number of lines displayed by findstr /n (no need to count), including all lines

For floor 10, mainly used 2>nul, wonderful!!!

look!

Don't understand? Why is it much slower than
find /v /c "" 1.txt>cs.txt
for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%i in (cs.txt) do @echo %%i
