Is there a way to count lines of code in CCS V5?

Guru 15580 points

I would like to know how many lines of code are in my project. Is there an automatic line calculator in CCS V5?

  • Hi Mike,

    I hope you know that the line number feature is already available in code editor window:

    OR is it like you need to exclude the comments ?

    Regards,

    Yes, thanks. I do know about the line numbers. But my project has ~20+ code files which change all the time, and I use a library that has another 20+ files. I would like to have a automatic way of counting line numbers, similar to how Microsoft Word keeps a running total of the number of words in a document. This would be helpful in tracking metrics such as "coded lines per day", etc.

    I guess my question should have been "is there an AUTOMATIC wasy to count lines of code in CCS V5?".

    Thanks for your response.

  • Mike,

    I have been searching around for an Eclipse plug-in that does it but no luck so far.  If you are on Linux there are some commands that you can use but I believe you are on Windows.

    One command to try on windows CCS is to go to File Search.

    Enter \n[\s]* as the search string and check the regular expression box.

    Then enter *.c as the File name pattern

    Then in the search window it gives me the count.

  • Thanks John. Let me know if you find any automated Eclipse tools. I have to believe that others have had the same requirements.
  • Hi Mike and John and Gautam!

    Is there any update regarding automated code line counting in CCS? I was searching for this feature in the web and got to your thread here. Would be helpful in my project as well. Thanks in advance.
