Counting lines of code?

Hobbes

Is there a tool for doing this? In MSDN prehaps?

I mean I can write one easy enough for the C++ but just wondering if there is a proggy out there that already does it?

(too many +)

There's tonnes of UNIX ones that you could use, can't remember the names offhand but you could use Cygwin to run them.

That's just a line counter. Not a source code line counter. Remark statements are generally not considered code.

yeh i know, twas a joke, hence the :P,
its not like ive bothered figuring out how to do the proper smilies here

but im bored here so heres another one,
i might actually go as far as doing a proper on in perl at this rate ..

comment="//"; #for example
cat $file |grep ..* |grep -v $comment |wc -l

c22

Catch_22

arrgh, only end up making a fool of myself here, but i managed a mistake in the one line i put up there, should be |grep -v ^$comment to account for lines that have source & comment,

anyways havent come across any decent line counters, http://www.enteract.com/~bradapp/clearperl/sclc.html

is about the best i found, but it doesnt seem to cover as many languages as the one you have,

i think thats enought stupidity for today,

yeh wc -l for example :P

Anyone got a DOS loc counter? I don't have time to set up cygwin at the mo (tho it's a class tool)...

Not sure where to pick them up though.

Code Metric is a Visual C++ line-counting and formatting utility. It will read all of the projects and files in a workspace, and automatically count lines and comments. The code can then be formatted in a variety of styles. Formatting options include indenting, brace handling, white space, and several other choices. Code Metric comes as a standalone program and as an add-in to Visual C++. The shareware version displays registration reminder dialogs; the registered version costs $39.

and

"Source Code Counter (SCC) is a Line of code counter used to count the number of lines of code in a given software file or project. Source Code Counter can accurately count almost any language that uses comment line and comment block delimiters. SCC has been preset to count most High Order Languages including C,C++,Java and Visual basic. SCC also permits to recursively count files in a directory based on a selected High Order Language, or automatically count all of the known file types in a directory."

ok, time to get off my a$$...

Some counters here: http://download.cnet.com/downloads/1,10150,0-3897188-103-0-1-7,00.html?tag=srch&qt=count&cn=Software+Development&ca=3897188

I like LineCount cos its only 53kb so I'll give that a shot ( http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10090-100-2672664.html?tag=st.dl.3897188-103-1.lst-7-5.2672664 )

The one SCC you mentioned Hobbes, is at http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10090-100-2344758.html?tag=st.dl.3897188-103-1.lst-7-3.2344758

Running off to do stuff for an hour, if you grab any of these before then let me know how you get on.

Cheers,
