Just peeked at the strtok() function in PHP manual ... and the only real difference from Java seems to be how the tokenizer is initialized, and how to get the next token. Another method is the one I use in VB (which don't have a tokenizer function): Split the entire text into an array, then count the number of elements in the array (but be warned: A text file in array causes a massive memory drain). I do this is in all my VB programs to deal with file paths ... in VB there's simply no simpler to construct entire folder trees that don't exist...
