count (non-blank) lines-of-code in bash

In Bash, how do I count the number of non-blank lines of code in a project?

Solution 
  • cat foo.c | sed '/^\s*$/d' | wc -l

    And if you consider comments blank lines:

    cat foo.pl | sed '/^\s*#/d;/^\s*$/d' | wc -l

    Although, that's language dependent.
