Counting lines of code in a project

[Bryan - Gendev]

In the IDE I can choose to recompile all programs - so can I access the number of lines of code involved?

Thanks

The build will go through all project items and compile them, it won't count lines when doing it, no.

To recompile all code (forms, classes, PRGs, etc.) in a project, tick "Rebuild project" and "Recompile all files" in the Build Options.

However, that won't give you a count of the lines of code. To do that, run the Documenting Wizard (from the Tools menu), and choose "Source code listing" as the output. That will put all the code in a single file. You can then open the file within VFP, go to the last line, and read the line number from the status bar. (Make sure you have SET STATUS BAR ON.)
