Note: If anyone is interested in WHY I'm doing this, I need to open
the file, figure out how many lines it has, and write that number in
the first line of the file. In this case I need to write "231478708"
plus a return.
I think a lot of people missed your "on Windows" part, suggesting Unix
tools for use.
Since the OP already knows the number to write at the front of
the file, one could do
c:\wherever> copy con+source_file.txt dest_file.txt
231478708
^Z
source_file.txt
1 file(s) copied
(where the number is typed, followed by <enter> followed by
control+Z)
which will create "dest_file.txt" from the mashing-together of
the typed pseudo-file and the original source_file.txt
