Number of lines in multiple files

Question

On a windows 7 machine, I'd like a quick way to determine the number of lines in all of the files in a directory tree, for files of a given extension. Is there any good out of the box way to do this?

Answer 1

powershell is an option.

PS C:\Users\MW> dir -Recurse *.txt | Get-Content | Measure-Object

Count    : 11
Average  :
Sum      :
Maximum  :
Minimum  :
Property :

Answer 2

Nope. I'm sure you can find some simple tools, like WinGrep that would help; but not "out of the box".

Answer 3

You might try to use the 'wc.exe' program contained in the Cygwin package.
