   Simple VC++ IDE Question
  How can I tell how many lines of code I've written in Visual C++ Express?Slightly pointless question I know, but I can't find how for the life of me and little things like this drive me crazy! Apologies if I've overlooked something totally obvious.Cheers in advance,Sven   
  As far as I know there is no source code info page, but you can always position the cursor at the bottom of a source file and look on the status bar, which will tell you how many lines there are. This is one thing that Visual Studio needs to improve on.   ;Project Line Counter is a cool plug-in for Visual Studio that I use occasionally for this exact purpose.  It'll tell you how many lines are just comments, just code, mixed, and total.Unfortunately, VS Express doesn't allow any plugins.  Sorry [sad]   ;  There seems to be a stand alone application that might help.  Not sure if you want to spend 15$ on that though...Other than that, writing your own app wouldn't be that hard, or like ussnewjersey4 suggested, move the cursor on the last line of each file and check the line #.Hope this helps!   ;  I find it stupid that an application as supposedly fully-featured as VC++ Express lacks something as simple as that, Dev-C++ has it after all... ah well, I'll live.Quote:Original post by xEricxOther than that, writing your own app wouldn't be that hardIt would be for me- I'm atill right at the beginning of my studies, writing simple DOS console games alongside a little tinkering in SDL. I'm not sure I'd know where to begin with loading in & reading files, so if anyone would like to post any basic hints or links to help me get started then I'd be very appreciative of the challenge!Cheers for your responses,Sven
