What are you going to use the count for when you get it? Everytime I've wanted to do this, I've wanted to count every line except blank lines, which is easy. If you're counting for purposes of measuring productivity, then comment lines certainly do count, otherwise you're going to be encouraging people to not document their code. -- Flint Pellett, Global Information Systems Technology, Inc. 1800 Woodfield Drive, Savoy, IL 61874 (217) 352-1165 INTERNET: flint%gistdev@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu UUCP: {uunet,pur-ee,convex}!uiucuxc!gistdev!flint
