This script let you count the number of M-codes you have written under specific directory.

You are now following this Submission

MCount counts the number of M-codes you have written.

MCount.lines(path) count the lines you have written under directory filepath.

MCount.reallines(path) count the lines you have written under directory filepath, but omits the emtpy lines and comment lines.

MCount.size(path) adds up the size of your m-files under directory filepath

All of them support multi-paths (in cells), for example,
MCount.lines({'patha', 'pathb/pathc', 'filed'});

My(zhang@zhiqiang.org) result: in recent 1 year, I wrote 19524 lines of M-codes totally, 12311 lines except for empty lines and comments lines, 603K in file size.
