count lines of code for entire project

Hi All,

I am looking into counting source code of lines for entire project. Is there a way to do it? I looked into sloc() somebdy posted but it counts only one file at a time. I want to count for the entire project so soemthign can go into the foler and look for each and every .m file

Neesha - try using David Roberts' FEX submission slocDir which calls the sloc function that you mention above.

Ok,this worked. I have tried using slocdir, which did not work for me, but slocDir did. Thanks

If anyone in the future tries to call all the project file names such as

p = currentProject
fNames = [p.Files.Path]'

Be aware that fNames is a string array, which did not exist at the time of sloc, so you need to reconvert it into a character array. I make no promises that this works for all cases, but I used sloc in this manner

p = currentProject
filePaths = char([p.Files.Path]');

myCount = struct;
count0TF = [];
for i = 1:height(filePaths)
    try
        n = numel(myCount);
        myCount(n+1).count = sloc(filePaths(i,:));
        [~,fName] = fileparts(filePaths(i,:));
        myCount(n+1).filename = fName;
    catch
    end
end
myProjectTable = struct2table(myCount)

Here is a lightweight MATLAB utility that recursively counts code, comment, and blank lines across files or directories and writes a per-file summary and grand totals to lineCount.txt: Count Lines.
