You can get the filename and line number with -oaddRuleLocation on the CLI

What I was trying to say was, the line numbers are not ideal to record in
your database or to count, because if you insert or delete rules, they
change. Hence I was considering storing a truncated hash of the rule.
so it sounds like what you need is for a hash function to be introduced, so that
you can take the reconstructed rule, hash it, truncate the hash and do whatever
you want with it.
sounds like a good idea, and not that hard to implement (even implementing to be
able to support multiple hash options so that the crypto geeks can argue over
which to use :-) )
