Just put the WinCount.exe file somewhere on your hard drive and
run the program by double clicking the executable.

Click on Add button.
Fill the fields as follows:

Excellent program. Installed, compiled, built, and executed exactly as advertised.

The utility assumes that files for a web project are in a sub-folder of wwwroot which is the default for Microsoft but not for many applications.

How to count "lines of code"?

The program is just showing total number of lines in the file (like "wc -l"). How do I show LOC?

If you click on "Options..." then you can check not to count blank lines and comment lines. I'm not sure if the version here at CodeProject has this functionality, but you can download latest version from http://www.adersoftware.com/?page=winCount

Added code to clear the file list

Drew Berkemeyer

6:01 17 Feb '04

I also added the following code to the CountStart() method to clear the file list if the Count button is pressed more than once: // clear the current file list files.Clear(); int count = Count(txtDirectory.Text, mask, root); - Drew

Added code to omit blank and comment lines

Drew Berkemeyer

5:51 17 Feb '04

Hello,

I added the following code to CountFile() method to skip comment and blank lines.

NOTE: The code below will still count the last line of a /* */ block. However, it suited my purposes well enough and I didn't want to spend more than the 5 minutes it took to make these changes.

Hope someone finds this useful.



bool bCountLine = true;

string strLine;

while ((strLine = reader.ReadLine()) != null)

{

	if (false == bCountLine &&

		strLine.IndexOf("*/") != -1)

	{

		bCountLine = true;

	}

	else if (strLine.Trim().IndexOf("/*") == 0)

		bCountLine = false;

 

	if (true == bCountLine && 

            strLine.Trim().Length > 0 &&

	    strLine.Trim().IndexOf("//") != 0) 

	    count++;

}

- Drew

I have added your suggestions to the program. There are options now to skip blank lines and/or comment lines. You can download the latest version from: http://www.adersoftware.com/?page=winCount
