Frequently asked questions
How are lines counted?
Lines are split by newline characters. A single line of text with no line breaks counts as 1 line.
Do trailing newlines add a line?
Yes. A trailing newline at the end of your text adds one empty line to the count.
Can I count lines in a file?
Paste the file contents into the text area. The tool works with any text regardless of source.
What is 'average line length'?
