[thelist] Line counting tool...

[Ben Bright]

I'd recomend installing CygWin and using the gnu command line utilities.

In the case mentioned in this thread, 'wc' would be useful for counting
lines, words and characters in a file ... and 'find' would give you the
directory tree listing you are looking for. 'cat' will give you the
text of the files. Using them together, you can
get the info you are looking for like so.

  cat `find * | grep -i inc$` | wc

Oh ... the 'grep' part filters the find to only return files ending in a
case-insensitive 'inc'.

And there are a zillion other, perhaps more efficient, alternatives to the
above that will achieve the same.

Good luck.
