Thanx all for sharing your knowledge. Suggestion given by CountZero worked. I did same thing. I copied all whole file content into one array and used that array to get no of lines and content of file. I have still one query. When I used suggestion given by moritz my $count = 0; while( <$fh> ) { $count++; } I was unable to get content of file. I think the reason for this was that you cant reuse file handle. Can anyone tell me why this is so ? @JavaFan , I tried to use this $content = ` wc -l $Filehandle` but I could not get output in $count as it should be. This worked fine on command prompt bt not on browser. Regards, Prafull
