[RESOLVED] Is there an variable to tell you what line you are on?

[conjurer]

Is there a system variable that tells what line of a file you are on?

I have some echo's that tell me where the program is at and I hard coded the line number in, so then as I modify the file I have to change the echo statements too. Is there a way I could just echo something like:

echo "This is line $line";  

What system variable would I use for $line?

[devinemke]

you could feed the file path into [man]file[/man] and use the array keys to derive the line #.

That sounds kind of hard...at least for me. Guess I will stick with manually changing the echo command or tossing an error.

Thanks for responding.

There's LINE:

echo 'This is line ' . __LINE__;

Hey that works! Very cool!

Thanks so much!
