Managing large amounts of text, whether it is code, logs, or creative writing, often requires precise structural data. Knowing exactly how many lines you are working with—and how they are organized—is essential for meeting technical requirements or organizational standards.

To simplify this process, we have developed the Line Counter, a free online utility that provides a deep breakdown of your text structure in real-time.

Complete Text Insights

Unlike basic counters, this tool provides a comprehensive analysis of your content the moment you paste it into the "Text Input" area. It tracks several key metrics simultaneously:

  • Total Lines: The complete count of every line in your document.
  • Non-Empty Lines: Tracks only lines containing actual characters, perfect for filtering out unnecessary breaks.
  • Empty Lines: Identifies exactly how much "white space" is in your file.
  • Longest & Shortest Lines: Automatically finds the character counts for your most substantial and most brief lines of text.

Key Features for Better Workflow

The Line Counter is built with functionality that goes beyond simple counting:

  1. Show Line Numbers: With a single toggle, you can add sequential numbering to your text, making it much easier to reference specific points in a document or script.
  2. Copy with Line Numbers: Once you’ve added numbering, you can use the specialized "Copy with Line Numbers" button to grab the formatted version for use in your own projects.
  3. Perfect for Technical Tasks: This tool is an ideal companion for code analysis, processing log files, and general text debugging.
