HOWTO: count lines of code
From today you will not go mental anymore to write a script that count lines of code of your last project. No, because there is “CLOC” that counts them for you. It’s a huge (7640 lines) perl script that gives you nice statistics about your project. You can find it on SourceForge.
Once downloaded, unzip it and with a terminal cd (to cd=to change directory) to executable; then type the command below:
$ perl cloc-1.53.pl /path/to/project/
and you’ll have an output like this (it depends by the project’s complexity). The cool things is that recognizes languages and divides statistics depending on which have you used!

That’s it! Oh yes, obviously you can take a look to its help launching it without any argument.
And you, how many line of code have you written? :)
