This is something I need to be added. Suppose that you're creating a VST to play a random sample depending on any key you press. Also suppose that you have a textfile containing all the samples you want to randomize. Wouldn't it be good to have access to the number of lines in an index selector? Wouldn't it also be usefull if you could set the selected string from an integer rather than through entering the proper text that line contains? It seams that this is something that would help creating much easier text applications.

Maybe this will do what you need...
Use a String Array connected to the same text list - then use your input index and an Array Extract to get the relevant text string to set the Index Selector using its text input. Connect it via a string switch, then you can still have a 'Set by text entry' option. The array will also give the number of entries.
Hope I explained that OK (can't put osm on Requests forum) it's a bit clunky, but it seems to work OK.

Well I suppose that would do the trick, but then I need to know how many lines is stored in the file in the first place. You see what I'm doing is creating a lyrics display system (similar to karaoke) to help singers out in the studio. The key displays a textline, the modwheel shows a progressbar for that line. Read beyond EOF is not very useful. 🙂

If you connect the loaded text to a string array primitive, there´s an int output that tell exactly how many lines there are in your text.
I´ve been doing something very similiar to what you want as an exam for my students.
