Perhaps try the first or second options?
The 2nd will show how many lines begin with a " character - in theory, your continued lines would not begin with a quote character.

Beyond the counting... good luck trying to decipher the file!
Second option worked..Thanks alot Joey!

UPTIMED(8)						      System Manager's Manual							UPTIMED(8)

NAME

       uptimed - daemon to record uptime records

SYNOPSIS

       uptimed [ -?bv ] [ -e <email> ] [ -i <interval> ] [ -m <count> ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the uptimed program.

       uptimed is a daemon that records statistics about a machine's uptime. Use the uprecords(1) program to get uptime record statistics.

OPTIONS

       These command-line options override settings in the configuration file /etc/uptimed.conf

       -?     Show usage

       -b     Create bootid and exit. This option is ignored on BSD systems, because the BSD kernel keeps a static boot time variable in memory so
	      Uptimed does not need to cache this value.

       -p <file>
	      Write PID to pidfile <file>

       -e <email>
	      Send mail to <email> at milestones/records

       -i <interval>
	      Use <interval> seconds for loop

       -m <count>
	      Log a maximum of <count> entries

       -t <timespec>
	      Set the minimum uptime to be considered a record

       -v     Show version information

AUTHOR

       Rob Kaper <cap@capsi.com>.

       This manual page was written by Alan Ford <alan@whirlnet.co.uk>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). It  was  last
       modified for uptimed version 0.3.7.
