LOC counter

I moved to a new project at work. I thought i would count the loc. AWK is cool for this job.

BEGIN {x=0}
{
if ($0 ~ /^[[:blank:]]*/*/ )  {x=x+1}
if(x > 0 && $0 ~ /.**/[[:blank:]]*$/) {x=x-1}
else if(x==0 && $0 !~ /^[[:blank:]]*/// && $0 !~ /^$/) {
print $0
}
}

There are lot of free loc counters available. May be i am re-inventing the wheel. Anyway it is my version. Comments are welcome. This does not count the single line comment and multiline nested comments and all blank lines are ignored.

You need to call this explicitly like, > find . -name *.c -or -name *.h | awk -f ./abovefile.awk | wc -l
