Informational Estimates, Not Certified Metrics

The line counts produced by LinesTool are informational estimates generated by heuristic parsing, not certified measurements. While the scanner is string-aware and follows the widely used cloc conventions, no automated tool can count code with the authority of a formal audit. If a number from this Service will appear in an audit, contract, invoice or regulatory filing, verify it independently first.

Heuristics Have Edges

Language detection relies on filenames, Shebang lines, extensions and content fingerprints; line classification relies on per-language comment syntax tables. Unusual constructs — commented-out regexes, comment delimiters inside multi-line strings, minified single-line files, mixed-language templating — can shift counts in either direction. Results are most reliable on conventional, readable source files.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on this Service constitutes engineering, legal, financial or career advice. Line counts are one input among many when scoping a refactor, setting a KPI or describing project scale — never a substitute for professional judgment.

No Guarantee of Accuracy or Availability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and counts may differ from those produced by other tools such as cloc, scc, tokei or IDE statistics, since each defines edge cases slightly differently.

External Links and Ads

The Service may contain links to third-party websites and advertisements. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or practices of any third-party site.

Your Files Stay With You

One guarantee we do make: all counting happens in your browser, and your files are never uploaded to any server. See our privacy policy for details.
