Framework Assistant request

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Framework Assistant request

Could the author add a line counter, so I can see how many lines my complete source code is?

In case it would help anyone (Jim Brown if he wants to add it, Leadwerks if he doesn't, and lurkers in any case), Yan/Papa Lazarou posted code for counting lines in this thread: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=59845#667593

Hi Josh,
I'll add that in.

What about remarks or blocks or Rem/End Rem code?
Do you count that as part of the source code line count?

Could you do both? One that counts lines of code only, missing out any comments and blank lines, and another that just counts everything.

Framework Assistant updated. The HTML results will now display:

* total number of lines in code (inc. remarks/blank lines)
* total number of source code lines only

Can I also make a suggestion - that Framework Assistant defaults it's BlitzMax Path on Windows to C:\Program Files\BlitzMax. 9/10 people use that path and the 1/10 that don't can change it. FA is great but this would round it off nicely!

Cheers

Seb

You can use "." as root directory(replace in fa.ini) if you unzip FA to your BlitzMax directory, this is handy for porting it on portable disk drives.

Seb,
I'll see to that too. Good idea.

Mac/Linux users:
Whats the default installation folder (if any) for BlitzMax on either of these platforms?

U should use something like SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() instead

Awesome! Thanks.

I managed to break the line counter with my main source code:

Including remarks/blank lines: 176
Source code only: 179

The code is 300 kb, so I think it is more than 180 lines.
