all i want to do is count the lines in each file
#5
if it's a strange encoding i don't care if this is accurate. this is operation on my edit log which has time of edit and a file path. this script lists recently edited files with time. i'm inserting a column for number of lines. for my Python source files and most other text and source, the encoding will be ASCII or UTF-8. the file causing problem was a C file from 2006 when i was using ISO8859 for the copyright symbol. cat that line today (the Linux kernel is doing UTF-8 reasonably well) and the copyright is just a question in an inverted cell.

i've already done this and have it showing ">9999" (if the number of lines exceeds 9999) and narrowed it to 5 characters. if the file exceeds 1048575 bytes then it prints ">####". i do f.read(1048576). i could reduce that.

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
