Out of curiousity I wanted to count actual lines of code in my project.
I am aware of full blown sexy free software solutions such as CLOC but I wanted a quick one-liner; without requiring any installation, plus wanted it to be portable.
After a quick bash-fu I came up with a chained Cygwin bash command which might be useful to other curious scripters, so here it is:
# method: cat the whole line | grep filter out any lines that contain // | sed delete all tab and whitespace character-only lines | sed delete all empty lines | count number of lines with wc # count actual number of lines code for: SERVER-SIDE CODE cat /cygdrive/d/root/Arma_3_DS/mpmissions/mgmTfA__DEVELOPMENT_DIR/server-side/mgmTfA/Serverside/mgmTfA/*.sqf | grep -v "//" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed '/^$/d' | wc -l 2963 # count actual number of lines code for: CLIENT-SIDE CODE cat /cygdrive/d/root/Arma_3_DS/mpmissions/mgmTfA__DEVELOPMENT_DIR/client-side/mgmTfA.Altis/custom/mgmTfA/*.sqf | grep -v "//" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed '/^$/d' | wc -l 963 # count actual number of lines code for: (SERVER-SIDE) + (CLIENT-SIDE) CODE expr `cat /cygdrive/d/root/Arma_3_DS/mpmissions/mgmTfA__DEVELOPMENT_DIR/server-side/mgmTfA/Serverside/mgmTfA/*.sqf | grep -v "//" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed '/^$/d' | wc -l` + `cat /cygdrive/d/root/Arma_3_DS/mpmissions/mgmTfA__DEVELOPMENT_DIR/client-side/mgmTfA.Altis/custom/mgmTfA/*.sqf | grep -v "//" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//' | sed '/^$/d' | wc -l` 3926
Now I copy & paste the last line only to a Cygwin bash shell and pressing enter gives me actual number of lines of code in my project from multiple directories and SQF files.
Hope this helps.
