This morning I was curious as to how many actual, real lines of code there were in my company’s product. So, being the geek that I am, I wrote a program to find out. And because I like to share, I’m making the program available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a Visual Basic 6.0 program; so be sure to have the necessary VB runtimes installed on your system before you try to run it. Obviously, as well, this will only run on Windows PCs… sorry Mac & Linux people!<\/p>\n

The program allows you to select a single VB project file, which it will then parse for all of its component files. It will then count the lines of code (non-blank, non-comment) in the files & add it up and give it to you as a total. You can check off the box to keep a running total of all lines in several projects; but VB is limited (without some fancy libraries that I was too lazy to include) to integers of something in the neighborhood of 36,000 – if your projects have more lines then that, you’ll get a run-time error 6 – overflow error, and the program will crash. (No, there’s no error checking – it was a quick & dirty utility for my use!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, feel free to use if it you want. And in case you were wondering… my program currently has 72,145 lines of code. YIKES! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
