<br>
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.<br>
<br>
This has led me to believe that the FILE strings command is at fault
somehow. How does it work?<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

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. <br>
