Are some of the lines empty by any chance?
Empty elements are not iterated in a foreach of a list.
Nor (I would expect, I have not verified) is an empty string
considered a string for reporting by file(STRINGS ...

Hi,
I was working with the FILE(STRINGS filename lineList) and i
discovered that i end up getting a list which has a lesser number
of strings than the actual lines in the file. However this happens
with only some files, i went through those but they seem to be
regular files. When i count the no of new lines in the files i get
the correct no of lines for the file.
This has led me to believe that the FILE strings command is at
fault somehow. How does it work?
Cheers!
Johny

Is'nt an empty line a newline character ? if thats it then the file in
question has plenty of them. I guess thats the reason then.
Cheers!
