Code Line Counter

Programmers often find themselves overwhelmed by the number of lines they write for their projects and require specialized software to stay on top of their progress. Code Line Counter is such an application that provides valuable information on source code files.

The application is quick to install and requires minimal resources to run smoothly. The interface is not top-notch but is organized to provide sufficient functionality.

You can add multiple source code files and have the software analyze them. After a brief waiting time, you will preview in the coding language, the number of simple, source code, comment, TODO, blank, mixed and regular lines. All results are expressed in numbers and percentage, so it saves you the hassle of calculating progress.

The software enables you to preview information in chart mode. It is a skewed viewing type, and it allows you to focus on problematic areas. Unfortunately, you cannot view other types of lines except source, regular, and blank.

The application supports a wide range of file extensions, such as .c, .cpp, .h, .cs, .dpr, .pas, .java, .php, .bas, .ctl, .dsr, .frm. It offers sufficient variety to be of use to programmers.

Another useful feature is the report compare. You can select two reports on your source code files and let the application display any differences. It proves useful for project managers who need to keep track of progress. Moreover, reports can be saved as plain text, HTML or Excel, so you can preview them with third-party software.

In conclusion, Code Line Counter proves its worth in the hands of the right person. If you are a manager, you will find it useful to keep track of any project, and if you are a professional programmer, you might be interested in optimizing your writing process and accuracy. There are some drawbacks here and there (regarding interface and chart display), but overall, the software is worth testing.
