No need to break it up. If the file fits in memory, the following will
render you the number of lines:
fd=fopen('foo.txt');
q=fread(fd,inf,'*uchar');
fclose(fd);
nlines=sum(q==10);
This works on a PC or UNIX textfile. Guess you have to replace '10' for
'13' on a MAC.
If the file is huge, modify it to read in chunks.
