how to quickly count non-holdem hands

[Roswell]

I have several sessions of hands from stud8 saved on my hard drive as .txt files. I don't know how many hands are in each file. Is there some way to count them quickly, without going through every file individually?

I thought of a way to do a rough estimate and that is just look at the total file size in MB and compare it to a file that you know the size and number of hands in it, and then just do the math.

The UNIX command grep gets the job done.

Wingrep (http://www.wingrep.com/) looks pretty damn cool. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif If you desire a free solution, you could always install cygwin.com and have a whole slew of unix tools at your command.
