Project Count of Lines Of Code

[jfrost10]

Hey guys,

Is there any known, easy way of getting the total number of lines of code for a given project?

Trying to convince the higher-ups that we need more people (or that they should pay me as if i was 3 people...yeah, I'm not optimistic about that either)

Thanks

Not that I know of Jack. You could scroll to the bottom of every page get the line number and then add them together. Depending on the size of your project this could take you a day to do though. That'l do donkey, that'l do

yeah, I've got a dll with about 50 classes, and the main project has about 50 forms on it as well.

I was able to average everything out, so that should be good enough.

thanks

It would not be that hard to find out.

I wrote a code counter for Clipper once (in VB.NET), but I lost the code when my computer died the other month (I still have the EXE).

All you have to do is:

1. search for the relevant files (*.aspx,*.vb,*....)
- Give it directory and file extensions and create an
array of file names.
2. then run through each file and count for three things
A. Trimed lines that = "" (Blank Lines)
B. Trimed lines that start with ' (Comments)
C. All other lines (Code)


Also, look at these:
