Count lines via bufio

Question

I'm utilizing bufio to do a for loop for each line in a text file. I have no idea how to count the amount of lines though.

scanner := bufio.NewScanner(bufio.NewReader(file))

The above is what I use to scan my file.

You could do something like this:

counter := 0
for scanner.Scan() {
    line := scanner.Text()
    counter++
    // do something with your line
}
fmt.Printf("Lines read: %d", counter)
