Full Discussion: counting the number of lines

Without knowing the file first hand, I can only suggest you use grep with options.

$ grep -c "Name" myfile

Will give the number of lines that the word "Name" is found.

Re-read your post - my grep suggestion won't help.

Try awk - see the man page for awk
You can look for a begining statement and ending statement - and then pipe it to wc -l

Example (you will have to try this to see if it or something like it will work)
awk /"Name"/,/"Ending statement"/ myfile |wc -l

NAME
mref - make listing and cross reference map of MINIX SYNOPSIS
mref [-dlmstx] [-p n] [-n] file ... OPTIONS
-d Do not produce definition file (global symbol table) -l Do not produce listing -m Multiple references on one line are cited only once -p Set initial page number to n -s Suppress line numbering between procedures -t Generate output for troff -x Do not produce the cross reference map -n Number of lines to print per page, default = 50 EXAMPLES
mref *.[hc] # List and cross reference files .h and .c mref -60 -t *.c # Produce troff input at 60 lines/page mref -dx -p 100 *.c # Listing only, first page is numbered 100 DESCRIPTION
In default mode, mref produces three output files: a numbered listing of the input files (on standard output), a global symbol table (on symbol.out), and a cross reference map to the global symbols (on xref.out). A global symbol in this context is one present in a #define, PUBLIC, PRIVATE, or SYMBOL statement (the latter being introduced to allow users to explicitly declare certain symbols as global). Any of the three outputs can be suppressed, or alternatively, be made suitable for input to troff for typesetting. MREF(1)
