Introducing Kyrathaba's Source Code Line Counter, a donationware program that, given a project directory, will tally the lines of source code across all source code files within the project (or multiple projects). Has the option to exclude blank lines and comments.

Make sure to give this a read: http://en.wikipedia....Source_lines_of_code

Thanks for that link, skwire. Based on the article, my program is of the type "Physical SLOC" rather than "Logical SLOC"

Version 1.0.0.1 is now available. It adds "Help"->"About" menu/submenu:

I've updated the program to include the ability to check for (and, if available, download) an updated version. In the process, I've incremented the program's version a few times (during dev-testing), so that's it's up to 1.0.0.5.

Anyone who has installed the program should uninstall, then download v1.0.0.5 and do a fresh install.

There's a lot of theory behind SLOC.

I once had a work-assignment to roughly compare the value/weight of the several software packages we have, written in several languages (C, C++, C#, Cobol, Delphi, Java, Modula2, VB is in alphabetic order what I can remember now).
I searched for tools then that could generate some useful statistics based on SLOC, and ended up testing a few and finally settling on CodeCount from USC, in the 2006.05 version back then (Gee was it that long ago

).

The major reason for selecting CodeCount was that it then gave reasonable and somewhat comparable counts for most of the languages I had to report on (Delphi and Modula2 aren't supported but I think I used another counter that supports Delphi and would eat Modula2, but I can't recall which one) , and all are based on the same measurement types, and from one development team.

I not sure you have the ambition to reach that kind of level or approach, and I'm not really interested in re-doing my tests from back then, but in addition to the Wikipedia article skwire referred to, it could be an interesting article/site for you to read.

Don't have the results of that report at hand, but it must be somewhere in my mail archive. I do recall there was quite a difference between the languages on P-Sloc and L-Sloc ratings (they're both calculated), but I can't even recall any figures just now.

I'll give this one a swing on some of my current projects

Cool. Thanks, Ath!

Version 1.0.0.6 updates the form TitleBar's title to fix a teensy error. Use "About"->"Update".

Added this program to my blog here.

Just downloaded and ran this. Works VERY well indeed. Was actually shocked at how many lines of code my small utility actually has (Even with all the options like blank lines, and designer unchecked).

Out of curiosity...How many lines does your line counter have?

kyrathaba · « **Reply #10 on:** September 15, 2011, 05:28 PM »

LOL! 1,905, counting blank lines, comments, and auto-generated code:

Glad the program worked well for you! Always good to hear positive feedback!

Can this be extended to handle Java and/or Delphi sources?

kyrathaba · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2011, 09:35 PM »

That should be fairly simple, timns. I'd just add some additional extensions to search parameter. Will try to get to it (right now I'm busy with a paid project). Or, if you wish, I can release the source code to you.

timns · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2011, 11:18 AM »

No, I can wait - I'd love to see it in the main release if you have time. I'm very sure a lot of other folks would appreciate both Java and Delphi.

kyrathaba · « **Reply #16 on:** November 24, 2011, 07:57 AM »

Okay, can you guys give me a list of file extensions I'll need to know?

Ath · « **Reply #17 on:** November 24, 2011, 09:05 AM »

*.java -> Java source
*.dpr -> Delphi Project (contains mostly source)
*.pas -> Delphi/Pascal source

jgpaiva · « **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2011, 09:27 AM »

*.sh -> bash source (comments with '#')
*.ahk -> ahk source

(comments with ';')

kyrathaba · « **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2011, 11:42 AM »

Okay, guys: I've updated the program to be capable of identifying the files with the extensions you've provided. Please use Help->About->Update to download the newest version for installation, or you can download a copy from the link in my OP.

timns · « **Reply #20 on:** November 24, 2011, 12:02 PM »

It works!

887,726 lines counted in well under a second.

Can it automatically recount after changing the file type please?
And count the # of files?
And make the window sizeable?
Can we get it to save previous folder locations and also groups? Many of my projects are spread across several folders (core files, shared resources)
How about being able to drag a folder into the window to be counted?

Ath · « **Reply #21 on:** November 24, 2011, 02:30 PM »

+1 on all timns just said (except for the lines/speed counted

)

   Can we get it to save previous folder locations and also groups? Many of my projects are spread across several folders (core files, shared resources) ON TO-DO LIST!
   How about being able to drag a folder into the window to be counted? DONE!

Please use Help->About->Update to download v1.0.0.8, the newest version for installation, or you can download a copy from the link in my OP.

Hey, that's fast!

Ath · « **Reply #24 on:** November 24, 2011, 03:11 PM »

H'm should have thought of AutoIt3 (.au3) when I saw .ahk on that list, the language is a lot like ahk, so should be easy.
