When programming in C++, I have a Code::Blocks plugin that tells me statistics about a project (not just one file), like code to comment percentages, lines of code in project etc.

Screenshot from Code::Blocks:

Code::Blocks code statistics plugin

I was wondering whether there was a similar program/plugin for Lua, so I can view statistics of all my code in a certain directory. (I'm using an IDE called ZeroBrane Studio, if anyone knows a plugin for that)

I'm running Ubuntu (Linux) 14.04 and it doesn't need to be compatible with Windows or Mac because Lua isn't a compiled language.

You can use CLOC:

  • free, open source, CLI
  • support many languages including Lua

Example:

prompt> cloc perl-5.10.0.tar.gz
    4076 text files.
    3883 unique files.                                          
    1521 files ignored.
