📝 loc (Lines Of Code) counter

Counts how many lines of code (LOC/SLOC)* are in a code base, by programming language.

The programming languages are determined via the file extensions.

* LOC = Lines Of Code * SLOC = Source Lines Of Code

Dependencies

• Python 3.x

Installation

• Download the python script (or download or clone this whole repo)

• Save the script in a suitable location, such as /scripts

Usage

cd /my_source_code

./scripts/loc_counter.py

Example output

Type                    Files   Lines
Python                  1       377

                        Files   Lines
Identified Code         1       377

Skipped                 2       75
Skipped extensions:             md


Total                   3       452

Detailed Usage

This script scans the current directory and reports several statistics of interest to code spelunkers:

• total number of directories that contain code
• total number of files in all directories.
• total number of files in each of the following programming languages:
  • SQL, .NET, C#, PowerShell, JavaScript, CSS, SCSS, JSON, ASP.NET, TypeScript. Also other languages including:
  • Awk, C, C++, HTML, IDL, Java, Perl, PHP, Java, Python, TCL, VB6.

The programming language is determined via the file extension(s).

The script automatically ignores any file in typical 'not source code' directories, such as node_modules or .git.

options

The -w or --where argument tells the program that for each type of code it is to list all the directories that contain that type of code.

The -e or --exclude argument excludes certain sub-directories from the search. The exclude argument can be used several times on the same line like this:

The -l or --language option says to only find one language, and not all of them.

The -p or --pretty option allows the user to select HTML or LaTeX table output format instead of plain text.
