Thanks for the reply Khen! But would a "open FILE...." statement work fine to open a zip file (.gz)? i.e., I can just read the zip file as if it were a normal text file using the very same set of operations/commands?

    Unfortunately, no. The script can count newlines, but opening and reading the zipped file is a different thing altogether.
