Quick and dirty powershell script for counting lines in each file of a folder

countLOC.ps1

#Quick and dirty PS script for counting lines of code in a directory. Output is dumped to a simple CSV file.
#Note that this script doesn't count blank lines.
#Parameters:
#  path - the path containing the code files (note that the script will recurse through subfolders
#  outputFile - fully qualified path of the file to dump the CSV output
#  include (Optional) - file mask(s) to include in the count (deafults to *.*)
#  exclude (Optional) - file mask(s) to exclude in the count (defaults to none)
#  Example (count lines in target path including *.cs but excluding *.designer.cs)
#  .\countLOC.ps1 -path "C:\code\MyProject" -outputFile "C:\code\loc.csv" -include "*.cs" -exclude "*.designer.cs"
param([string]$path, [string]$outputFile, [string]$include = "*.*", [string]$exclude = "")
Clear-Host
Get-ChildItem -re -in $include -ex $exclude $path |
Foreach-Object { Write-Host "Counting $_.FullName" 
    $fileStats = Get-Content $_.FullName | Measure-Object -line
    $linesInFile = $fileStats.Lines
    "$_,$linesInFile" } | Out-File $outputFile -encoding "UTF8"
Write-Host "Complete"

Thanks, this was just the thing I needed today! Worked great to count lines of logfiles. Gotta love PS...

Is there anyway to do this for data files which are zipped? (Unzip, count lines and zip it back)

You can also use this one liner (feel free to add -Recurse to include sub dirs or use -ex to exlcued a pattern). Note: this will give you total not by each file.
(Get-ChildItem -File | Get-Content | Measure-Object -line).Lines

Number of lines
Get-Content -path .\hostList.txt | Measure-Object -Line | select-object -ExpandProperty lines
