Line Counter

Line Counter is a command-line tool for software developers. It reports the total number of lines of code and comment lines in C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript and PHP source files. The output may be redirected to a text file.

Note: this version is Unicode only that means that it will only run in Windows XP and later. Windows 98, ME and 2000 are not supported anymore.

 

Line Counter features many parameters, for a whole list of the supported parameters and a description, type the following command in a Command Prompt:

lcounter /?

Examples:

• To count lines in a specific directory (e.g. d:\dev\src) and its subdirectories and get a global summary, use:

  lcounter d:\dev\src /subdir

• If you want both file-by-file and global summaries, use the verbose mode like this:

  lcounter d:\dev\src /subdir /display:verbose

When Line Counter is used in a batch file, you can use ERRORLEVEL to check the completion code returned by the program. The possible return codes are listed in the table below.

Code	Description
0	Success.
1	Syntax error or help/registration information displayed.
2	System error.
