          2 File(s)             798 bytes

Counting multiple files by using wildcards.

locc hello.h hello.c*

Counting multiple directories by including subfolders.

locc *.h *.c* /s

Counting multiple directories by using a list file. See remarks for sample list file.

locc @files.lst

Remarks

(1) You can use a list file to specify multiple files or directories to count. A list file contains a file or directory specifier per line. List file arguments are prefixed with @. You can use wildcards within list files. You can use the /s switch in combination with list files, but not within list files.

Sample list file: files.lst

hello.h
hello.cpp
include\*.h
include\*.c*

(2) You can log count totals in a log file by specifying the log command # within the list file. The log command has the following syntax:

#Filename::ProjectName

Sample list file: fileslog.lst

#countlog.txt::Hello World C# Sample
hello.cs

Sample log file: countlog.txt

2003-11-11T22:05:45: Hello World C# Sample 609 (Cd) 34 (Cm) 151 (Em) 794 (To)
2003-11-12T22:05:57: Hello World C# Sample 654 (Cd) 39 (Cm) 170 (Em) 854 (To)

(3) You can use the /v switch to display how each line is counted. Each output line is prefixed with its type. Cd..Code, Cm..Comment, Em..Empty.

Cd: #include "stdio.h"
Em:
Cd: void main()
Cd: {
Cm: // send hello message
Cd: printf("Hello world!\n");
Cd: }

(4) You can use the /f switch to set the output format. log for Table log format, which is the default format. xml for XML output. LOCC includes a xsl-stylesheet to display as HTML report.

locc helloworld.cs /f:xml >report.xml

Sample log file: report.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xml' href='locc.xsl'?>
<LineCount>
    <CodeStatistics Filename="helloworld.cs">
        <Code>9</Code>
        <Comments>0</Comments>
        <Empty>1</Empty>
        <Total>10</Total>
    </CodeStatistics>
    <CodeStatisticsTotal>
        <Code>9</Code>
        <Comments>0</Comments>
        <Empty>1</Empty>
        <Total>10</Total>
    </CodeStatisticsTotal>
    <FileStatistics>
        <Files>1</Files>
        <Bytes>141</Bytes>
    </FileStatistics>
</LineCount>

Using the xsl-stylesheet locc.xsl the report can be display as HTML.

Requirements
