You could try your luck with Perl version of 'diff'?.	[reply]

Don't reinvent the wheel; there are traps in tryign to do this yourself from scratch. I swear I found SLOC in a cpan module once, but I can't seem to find it now. If I come up with a productive search term I'll re-reply. update: Text::Diff Here's another free tool that promises alot, though I haven't tried it myself: SLOCCount #my sig used to say 'I humbly seek wisdom. '. Now it says: use strict; use warnings; I humbly seek wisdom.	[reply]

NAME diffstat - make histogram from diff-output USAGE diffstat [options] [file-specifications] SYNOPSIS This program reads the output of diff and displays a histogra +m of the insertions, deletions, and modifications per-file. DESCRIPTION Diffstat is a program that is useful for reviewing large, compl +ex patch files. It reads from one or more input files which contain out +put from diff, producing a histogram of the total lines changed for ea +ch file referenced. If the input filename ends with .bz2, .Z or .gz, +diffstat will read the uncompressed data via a pipe. [download] www.jasonkohles.com We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!
