[Camino-users] Fast way to count streamlines?

[Peterson, Daniel]

Hi All,

   I just want to count the number of streamlines in a streamline Bfloat file. I'm currently doing something like:

cat streamline_file.Bfloat | float2txt 6 | wc -l > streamline_count.txt

  But it's taking very long - I have a LOT of streamline files. Is there a faster way? Is there some "end of streamline" symbol I can binary grep for, rather than converting to text and counting lines?

Thanks so much,
-Dan
