}

Python

def Test():
  fileName = "D:\\Files\\MyFile.txt"
  fileObj = aqFile.OpenTextFile(fileName, aqFile.faRead, aqFile.ctANSI)
  Log.Message(fileObj.LinesCount)
  fileObj.Close()

VBScript

Sub Test
  Dim fileName, fileObj
  fileName = "C:\Files\MyFile.txt"

  Call Log.Message(fileObj.LinesCount)

  Call fileObj.Close
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test;
var fileName, fileObj;
begin
  fileName := 'C:\Files\MyFile.txt';

  fileObj.Close;
end;
