"Line of code" in Japanese


I've been doing a bit of work with rendering 縦書き【たてがき】 in HTML, and was having
a running internal monologue in Japanese about how things were progressing
when I hit on a missing word: "line" as in "line of code". Trying to think of
possibilities I came up with 列【れつ】 or 線【せん】, but neither feels right. Perhaps
just the import ライン instead? Can anyone shed some light on this?

For context, the sentence in question is

> 余計な＊を抜くと状況が直った。




Always use 行 (ぎょう) for the lines (in a book chapter, a programming code,
etc.), _no matter_ whether the sentence is written horizontally (横書き) or
vertically (縦書き).

For example, "Removing three lines from the CSS file" is as follows:

> CSSファイルから3行抜く
