how to quickly count non-holdem hands
 

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 looks pretty damn cool. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] If you desire a free solution, you could always install cygwin.com and have a whole slew of unix tools at your command.
