About this tag
The line count tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about counting lines in text files using command-line tools on Windows. A recurring theme involves using the WC tool in batch scripts to obtain line, word, and character counts, and then handling that output for further processing, such as displaying it with the MSG command.
