Line Counter

Line Counter is a command-line tool for software developers. It reports the total number of lines of code and comment lines in C, C++, C#, Arduino, Java, JavaScript and PHP source files. The output can be redirected to a text file.

Line Counter features many parameters, for a whole list of the supported parameters and a description, type the following command in a Command Prompt:

lcounter /?

Examples:

• To count lines in a specific directory (e.g. d:\dev\src) and its subdirectories and get a global summary, use:

  lcounter d:\dev\src /subdir

• If you want both file-by-file and global summaries, use the verbose mode like this:

  lcounter d:\dev\src /subdir /display:verbose

When Line Counter is used in a batch file, you can use ERRORLEVEL to check the completion code returned by the program. The possible return codes are listed in the table below.

Code	Description
0	Success.
1	Syntax error or help/registration information displayed.
2	System error.
