Code metrics of php - Notepad++

Question

Hello!

In particular, I am interested to know how many lines of codes there are, but this spans across many files.

I have been using notepad++ to author the code and for each file it does display line numbers but of course I have empty returns to make the code more readable.

Does anyone know of a plugin or tool that I can accurately get the actual lines of code?

Answer 1

Google for "php sloc counter". There are plenty of tools to do that, for example:

However, this kind of measuring is absolutely useless, so I'm not sure why you would want to do this.

Linux:

find -name '*.php' | xargs grep -av '\r' | wc -l

Windows (PowerShell):

(dir -include *.php -recurse | select-string "(?!^$)").count
