Text

Count lines, empty lines, and non-empty lines in any text instantly.

Input Text

A code file or a text document's actual content isn't the same as its total line count once blank spacer lines are counted too, and a report or a size limit based on lines needs to know specifically how many of those lines actually contain something versus how many are just empty spacing. This tool counts total lines, empty lines, and non-empty lines in any text instantly, breaking the total down into those specific categories rather than reporting one combined number.

Useful for checking a code file's actual content line count separate from blank spacing lines, confirming a text file matches an expected line count during a data import check, or getting a quick breakdown of how much of a log file is genuinely blank versus containing real content.

Quick answers for Line Counter

How is an "empty line" defined?
A line counts as empty if it is blank or contains only whitespace after trimming, so a line with just spaces or tabs is counted as empty, not non-empty.
What does the byte count measure?
The UTF-8 encoded byte size of your full text, which can be larger than the character count for text containing multi-byte characters like emoji or accented letters.
Does a trailing newline at the end of the text add an extra line?
Yes, splitting on newline characters means text ending in a newline produces one additional empty entry after the last line break, which is included in both the total and empty line counts.
