Break on
$count = 0
$FileName = "C:temp.txt"
IF Open(1, $FileName) = 0 and ReadLine(1)
    WHILE @ERROR = 0
       $count = $count + 1
       if $count = 10
          call "count at least 10 script"
          return/exit
       endif	
       ? "Line number " + $count + " reads: [" + $x + "]"
       $x = ReadLine(1)
     LOOP
     call "less than ten but greater than 0 script"
ENDIF
Close(1)
get some$

code:
