Journal karniv0re's Journal: Lines of Code Counter 2

Journal by karniv0re
Here's a quick little script that counts all the lines of code in my ColdFusion projects.

It can easily be adjusted to count other files.

#!/bin/bash

# Count lines of code starting at the parent directory

xmlfiles=`find . | grep "\.xml$"`;
cfmfiles=`find . | grep "\.cfm$"`;
cfcfiles=`find . | grep "\.cfc$"`;
jsfils=`find . | grep "\.js$"`;

total='0';

for file in $xmlfiles
do
total="$total + `wc -l $file | awk {'print $1'}`";
done

for file in $cfmfiles
do
total="$total + `wc -l $file | awk {'print $1'}`";
done

for file in $cfcfiles
do
total="$total + `wc -l $file | awk {'print $1'}`";
done

for file in $jsfiles
do
total="$total + `wc -l $file | awk {'print $1'}`";
done

echo $total | bc -q

  • try total=$((total + `wc -l $file | awk {'print $1'}`))

    Other things:
    instead of grep try
    find . -name '*.xml'
    or even
    find . -name '*.xml' -o -name '*.cfm' -o -name '*.cfc' -o ...

    If you know that there's fewer than ~5000 files (bash's maximum # of arguments on a command line, compile-time option so YMMV) then you can pull it off in one line even:
    total=$(wc -l $(find . -name '*.xml' -o -name '*.cfm' -o -name '*.cfc' -o -name '*.js') | awk '/total$/ {print $1}')

    • Thanks Qzukk! I had originally tried bash arithmetic, but I was getting syntax errors, so I went with what I knew. :-) The find arguments are interesting as well. I imagine it's a little speedier than grepping through all the results. Your comments are appreciated!
