Counting in TeX

Hello,


I would like to keep a running count of the number of lines as TeX
processes a list of lines.  Can I do this using the \count register?      I
would like to use the  \advance\count\mycount by 1  command after each line
is processed.

Is this even possible to do in TeX?


Many thanks for any suggeestions.
