You can quickly count the lines in text file on a Linux (or other *nix based system) with this command

wc -l < filename

(Of course, you need to substitute the filename with your filename.

Need to do this on a WIndows system? Download cygwin and you can issue the same command from the cygwin command line.  The only trick to cygwin is to remember that your root directory (C:\ on most Windows systems) is /cygdrive/c. Then the directory structure is the same from there.
