sloc

Count lines of source code for an M-file

Description

Counts the lines of source code in an M-file.

A line of source code is defined to be not a comment line, not a continuation of a previous line, and not an empty line.

The function line is included. SLOC returns the line count for the entire file, not for individual functions of a file.

If more than more statement is on the same line, that it treated as one line. For example, the line:

   minx = 32; maxx = 100;

is one line of source code.

Cool, I`d expect one more thing: to count all the lines for *.m files in the current directory recursively. Thanx, no rating yet.

[Andrej Mosat]

I`d add:
line 32: file=deblank(file);
or similar, because:
files=ls('*.m')
returns a char array with spaces at the end.
after:
count=count+sloc(files(i,:))
error occurs: 'xyz.m .m' cannot be found
But spaces in the middle of file would need a regexp.

Good how you incorporated multi-line codes continued by <...>. But some commands can have multiple lines without <...>, such as mutli-row matrix definition. But I guess this will be hard to detect.

I have already developed a similar program. God Bless!

I made a little script to list all the .m recursively and count the number of lines with sloc, you can fount it at : http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/24000

I created a function slocDir that uses this file to give sloc totals for each folder in a directory tree. Kind of confusing that there are two files out there slocdir & slocDir which seem to do the same thing. slocDir was submitted to Matlab Central a few weeks before slocdir.
