I have lists of things on notepad and wordpad. I'd like to see how many items are listed in each file. Is there a way to add a numerical value to them? Any help is appreciated

In wordpad, highlight the list and press ctrl + shift + L. the first time you press the combo you'll get bullets, press ctrl + shift + L again and you should get numbers. keep pressing the combo if you want roman numerals or an alphabetical list.

In textpad, I dunno. I think you're screwed there. try copying to wordpad, do the key combo, and paste back to textpad.

Ok, it only goes to 255, why is this on some NES Zelda rupee shit limit. Any way to expand that?

That's beyond me. I would search Google, but 255 is one of those numbers I'm afraid to mess with.

If there's a limit of 255 that means wordpad itself has only allocated the list value string in the file 8 bytes (0 being a value for a total of 256, if my rudimentary knowledge of programming is right), so that is either a restriction in the program itself, the filetype, or both, so you're probably screwed.

If you were running Linux or had Cygwin installed, I'd say just use 'wc'.

But you probably don't have either (I'd recommend installing Cygwin anyway), so I googled 'wc for windows' and found this:

But that's annoying shareware. Cygwin is free and better:

Once you install it, just type:

wc < [filename]

It'll tell you the # of characters, # of words, and # of lines.

Of course, you could also install a real text editor like Emacs and then you'll have all sorts of options.

here's a wacky idea. save the file as .txt

open dos
type edit

open the file
see how many lines you have.

Use the keys on the right side of the keyboard after making sure 'Num Lock' is on.
