Source code line counting system and method

摘要

One aspect of the invention is a method of counting lines of source code. One of a plurality of sets of configuration data is selected wherein each set of the plurality of sets of configuration data is associated with at least one computer language. Collectively the plurality of sets of configuration data are associated with a plurality of computer languages and the selected set of configuration data comprises the keywords for a first computer language. A first file is parsed wherein the first file contains computer source code written in the first computer language to create a first token stream in response to the selected set of configuration data. A first list of statements is created in response to the first token stream and a count value is generated in response to the first list of statements.
