Main Window

This section wants to provide the reader with an overview of the program components as well as to show how the program Line Counter generally works. But beforehand, a first glance at the program’s main window seems to be meaningful. Therefore, please take a closer look at figure below.

Main Window of program Line Counter.

As shown in figure above program Line Counter consists of two main areas. The first area, which is surrounded by group box Main Settings, is intended to quickly provide the information that are at least needed to run a line counting analysis. The second area instead is intended to provide the user with a quick access to the analysis result. This area is implemented as so–called Tab control which always provides at least the sheet Summary. Furthermore and depending on chosen analysis group, this Tab control also contains a separate sheet for each file type after scanning has completed.

Quick Start

First of all type the full qualified path of directory where the file analysis should start from into edit control Base Path. Alternatively, clicking button [...] next to this control performs a dialog base folder selection. Note, pasting data from the Windows clipboard using shortcut CTRL+C is also possible.

Secondly, choose an appropriated File Filter Configuration from the combo–box that can be found directly below edit control Base Path.

Last but not least, click button [Start] next to the File Filter Configuration combo–box to execute this file analysis. That’s it!

While executing a file analysis the progress bar in group box Main Settings shows current analyzing progress. After a file analysis has been finished the Tab control below group box Main Settings displays the analyzing result. On sheet Summary the overall statistics can be found. Furthermore, next to the Summary sheet the file type depending statistics can be found. Please keep in mind, these additional Tab sheets strictly depending on the file types which are available within the chosen File Filter Configuration.
