is the 'textfile' objext able to tell how many lines there in the file

, before going through all the lines?

regrettably, it isn't possible. This is also a shortcoming of arrays, samples, etc. I can't figure out a clean way to add it (add an extra outlet to everything!? bind it to a symbol and have a separate object for querying size!? yuck!)

ideas, anyone?
