Feature #63 - Implement countGamesInPgnFile method #64

Closed liebig closed 3 years ago

liebig commented 3 years ago

A function to count the number of games in a PGN file before loading would be interesting, as this would also allow a PgnLoadListener to calculate the exact percentage of games currently processed. For the implementation I count all lines which start with the string "[Event " because the Event field is mandatory by PGN definition. This implementation is fast. Counting 121332 games took my PC 707ms while loading the PGN file took 18597ms.
