Why use a line counter?

A line counter is useful for counting list items, rows of copied text, spreadsheet exports, code snippets, notes, paragraphs, addresses, names, keywords, and document lines.

It helps you quickly check how many rows or text lines you have without manually counting each line.

Line counter tips

Use total lines when every row should be counted.
Use non-empty lines when you want to ignore blank rows.
Use blank line count when cleaning copied text or checking formatting.
Use average line length to review how long each row is.
Use trim mode when lines may have hidden spaces before or after text.
