Line Counter
Count total lines, non-empty lines, and empty lines
Frequently Asked Questions
How does line counting work?
Lines are counted by splitting text at line break characters (newlines). Total lines include both empty and non-empty lines, while non-empty lines only count lines with content.
What counts as an empty line?
Empty lines are counted as lines that contain only whitespace characters (spaces, tabs) or are completely blank. Lines with any non-whitespace characters are counted as non-empty.
Why would I need to count lines?
Line counting is useful for document analysis, verifying file content, estimating code complexity, checking submission requirements (e.g., essay line limits), and various text processing tasks.
Is there a limit to the text size this can handle?
The tool processes text in your browser, so it depends on your device's memory capacity. It should handle reasonably large files but may slow down with extremely large text inputs.
