Source Code Line Counter

The more lines of code in a program the better chances it properly functions, but this is not necessarily true. Code needs to be properly written down, but the number might be of interest to you. If this is the case, then Source Code Line Counter can do this for you in a simple, automated process which displays detailed results.

Since the application doesn’t take you through a setup process, you can just as well deploy it on a thumb drive to use on other computers besides your own. This means that registry entries are not modified during use, so the computer you use it on doesn’t go through any system changes, or stability issues.

The application supports several popular programming languages like Delphi, CBuilder, VC++, VC#, and VB.NET. On the bright side of things, the result page is the same, regardless of the type of file you decide to load. In fact, loading is done based on an entire folder, and all content of the selected type are taken into account.

Multiple files are processed, since the load option targets an entire folder. The summary panel shows different fields, such as number of documents found, total line count, normal, mixed, empty, and comment lines. Several percentage values are used to show normal, mixed, empty, and comment lines.

The lower half of the screen is split into two tabs. On the one hand, the graph view shows different types of lines in vertical progress sliders which are neatly colored. On the other hand, a detailed view can be obtained, with a similar quantity of data, but this time organized on rows for each file. Results can all be saved under a CSV file delimited either by commas or tabs.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Source Code Line Counter comes in handy for analyzing the content and structure of your source files. Multiple programming languages are supported, with a neat loading option which targets multiple files, and results displayed in various types of fields.
