About this Line Counter
The Line Counter reports how many lines are present in a text block and separates non-empty lines from blank ones. It is useful for lists, code snippets, data cleanup and bulk text preparation.
For related tasks, try Word Counter, Character Counter or Remove Empty Lines.
How the calculation works
The tool splits text at line breaks and tests each line after trimming whitespace. An entirely empty text box is treated as zero lines.
How to use it
- Paste or type text into the box.
- The counters update automatically.
- Review total, non-empty and blank line counts.
Practical example
A three-item list with one blank line contains four total lines, three non-empty lines and one blank line.
