Hello, I am using FSO to count lines of text in a file. The issue I am having is that I cant seem to figure out how to move the pointer back to the first line once I'm AtEndOfStream. This is what I have so far:

Code:
    With New Scripting.FileSystemObject
        With .OpenTextFile(sFilename, ForReading)
           Do Until .AtEndOfStream
                .SkipLine
                LineCount = LineCount + 1
            Loop
   'Move pointer back to first line and do more stuff


Any Ideas? Or maybe FSO is not the best way to tackle this, and I am certainly open to using another method.
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. I was just looking for something more efficient. Thanks, though.
