    <p>This program puzzles me. The goal of this program is to count the number of newlines in a file and output it in command prompt. <a href="http://nodeschool.io/#learn-you-node">Learnyounode</a> then runs their own check on the file and sees if their answer matches your answer.</p> <p>So I start with the answer : </p> <pre><code>var fs = require('fs'); var filename = process.argv[2]; file = fs.readFileSync(filename); contents = file.toString(); console.log(contents.split('\n').length - 1); </code></pre> <p>learnyounode verifies that this program correctly counts the number of new lines. But when I change the program to any of the following, it doesn't print out the same number as learnyounode prints out.</p> <pre><code>file = fs.readFileSync(C:/Nick/test.txt); file = fs.readFileSync(test.txt); </code></pre> <p>Shouldn't nodejs readFileSync be able to input an address and read it correctly?</p> <p>Lastly, this program is supposed to print out the # of newlines in a program. Why does both the correct program and learnyounode print out the same number that is different from the amount of newlines everytime I run this program? </p> <p>For example, the number of newlines in test.txt is 3. But running this program prints out a different number everytime, like 45, 15, 2, etc. Yet at the same time, it is verified as a correct program by learnyounode because both their answers match! What is going on?</p> <p>EDIT: test.txt looks like this</p> <pre><code>ok testing 123 </code></pre>

    1. COCare to show us your test.txt file? Also, how did you ascertain that the number of newlines in test.txt is 3?

    2. COThat was just a hypothetical answer. What I am truly trying to figure out is why the number of newlines keeps changing from 45, 15, 2, .. for both my program and learnyounode. I will add what my txt file looks like though.

    3. COk, so you are getting different numbers for the same test file. That does sound weird. Let me run your program locally to confirm this.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
