5. import java.io.IOException;  
6. import java.io.LineNumberReader;

8. public class Test   
9. {  
10.     public static void main(String[] args)  
11.     {     
12.    
13.         try{  
14.    
15.             File file =new File("D:\\file1234.txt");  
16.    
17.             if(file.exists()){  
18.    
19.                 FileReader fr = new FileReader(file);  
20.                 LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(fr);  
21.                 
22.                   
23.                 int lineNum = 0;  
24.    
25.                     while (lnr.readLine() != null){  
26.                           
27.                         lineNum++;  
28.                       
29.                     }  
30.    
31.                     System.out.println("Total number of lines in the file : " + lineNum);  
32.    
33.                     lnr.close();  
34.    
35.    
36.             }else{  
37.                  System.out.println("File does not exists!");  
38.             }  
39.    
40.         }catch(IOException e){  
41.             e.printStackTrace();  
42.         }
