Count lines of code

[Greg_Oberlag]

Can anyone suggest a good tool to "count lines" of ColdFusion code? Does Dreamweaver 8 have any built in support?

Management is hounding us for LOCs, metrics, function points, etc. A nice automated report would be great!

Thanks, Greg

Use a tool like SR32 from www.funduc.com and search your directory for all occurrences of ASCII 10. SR32 will give you the name of each file and the number of lines in each file.

Paste it into word and use it's word count feature.

A combination of some of <cfcomponent>, <cffunction>, <cfdirectory>, <cffile action="read"> and the delimiters #chr(13)# and #chr(10)#.

I think what I am looking for is something that can count physical (line breaks) and logical (tags/statements) lines of code in a directory.
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_lines_of_code)

I was hoping Dreamweaver 8 would have something in Sites -> Reports menu to count LOC for the languages it supports (CF, ASP, etc). But can't find anything.

I assume their is something out their that would count SLOC with a few clicks?

You will be surprised if you write your own CFML function to count the number of lines in each text file in a directory. You will find that your result will be of the same order of magnitude as that of any tool out there.
