I have it in my .bashrc file: alias countcode='cat *.inc */*.inc */*/*.inc */*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*/*/*/*.inc | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*$'\'' | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*[{}][[:space:]]*$'\'' | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*//'\'' | grep -v '\''^<?//'\'' | grep -c '\''.*'\''' Then from my linux command line I just type countcode. And yes I know I could have come up with something better than */*/*/..., but like I said "QUICK AND DIRTY" :) Cheers, Rob. -- .-----------------. | Robert Cummings | :-----------------`----------------------------. | Webdeployer - Chief PHP and Java Programmer | :----------------------------------------------: | Mail : mailto:robert.cummings@webmotion.com | | Phone : (613) 731-4046 x.109 | :----------------------------------------------: | Website : http://www.webmotion.com | | Fax : (613) 260-9545 | `----------------------------------------------'
