Line Counter
Count lines in any text
Line Counter is on the roadmap. In the meantime, explore the other text & content.
What is Line Counter?
Count lines in any block of text — total lines, non-empty lines, lines with content, and the longest line's length. Updates live as you paste or type. Useful for log analysis, code reviews where line count matters, importing into systems with a per-line cap, or just sanity-checking that a file copied correctly across tools that may strip newlines.
How do I use Line Counter?
- Paste or type text into the input panel.
- Read the totals: total lines, non-empty lines, longest line length.
- Toggle "Ignore empty lines" if blank rows should not count.
When should I use Line Counter?
Line Counter is for line-level stats. For words and characters, use Word Counter or Character Counter. To remove duplicate lines, use Dedup Lines. To sort lines alphabetically or by length, use Sort Lines.
How are lines counted?
Any segment ending in a newline (\n, \r\n, or \r) is one line, plus the trailing fragment if it does not end in a newline. The same definition wc -l and most editors use.
Does it count empty lines?
Yes by default. Toggle "Ignore empty lines" to count only lines with at least one non-whitespace character.
What is the longest line?
The character count of the longest single line — useful for finding lines that exceed editor / terminal column limits, or for estimating line-wrap behaviour.
