这个有趣的解决方案真的很好!

public static int countLines(File input) throws IOException {
    try (InputStream is = new FileInputStream(input)) {
        int count = 1;
        for (int aChar = 0; aChar != -1;aChar = is.read())
            count += aChar == '\n' ? 1 : 0;
        return count;
    }
}

我的结论是wc -l:s计算换行的方法是好的，但是在最后一行不以换行符结束的文件上返回非直观的结果。

和@。基于LineNumberReader的vikas解决方案，但在行数中添加一个，在最后一行以换行符结束的文件上返回非直观的结果。

因此我做了一个算法，处理如下:

@Test
public void empty() throws IOException {
    assertEquals(0, count(""));
}

@Test
public void singleNewline() throws IOException {
    assertEquals(1, count("\n"));
}

@Test
public void dataWithoutNewline() throws IOException {
    assertEquals(1, count("one"));
}

@Test
public void oneCompleteLine() throws IOException {
    assertEquals(1, count("one\n"));
}

@Test
public void twoCompleteLines() throws IOException {
    assertEquals(2, count("one\ntwo\n"));
}

@Test
public void twoLinesWithoutNewlineAtEnd() throws IOException {
    assertEquals(2, count("one\ntwo"));
}

@Test
public void aFewLines() throws IOException {
    assertEquals(5, count("one\ntwo\nthree\nfour\nfive\n"));
}

它是这样的:

static long countLines(InputStream is) throws IOException {
    try(LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(new InputStreamReader(is))) {
        char[] buf = new char[8192];
        int n, previousN = -1;
        //Read will return at least one byte, no need to buffer more
        while((n = lnr.read(buf)) != -1) {
            previousN = n;
        }
        int ln = lnr.getLineNumber();
        if (previousN == -1) {
            //No data read at all, i.e file was empty
            return 0;
        } else {
            char lastChar = buf[previousN - 1];
            if (lastChar == '\n' || lastChar == '\r') {
                //Ending with newline, deduct one
                return ln;
            }
        }
        //normal case, return line number + 1
        return ln + 1;
    }
}

如果你想要直观的结果，你可以用这个。如果您只想要wc -l兼容性，只需使用@er即可。Vikas解决方案，但不添加一个到结果，并重试跳过:

try(LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(new File("File1")))) {
    while(lnr.skip(Long.MAX_VALUE) > 0){};
    return lnr.getLineNumber();
}

这是我迄今为止发现的最快的版本，大约比readLines快6倍。对于150MB的日志文件，这需要0.35秒，而在使用readLines()时需要2.40秒。只是为了好玩，linux的wc -l命令需要0.15秒。

public static int countLinesOld(String filename) throws IOException {
    InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(filename));
    try {
        byte[] c = new byte[1024];
        int count = 0;
        int readChars = 0;
        boolean empty = true;
        while ((readChars = is.read(c)) != -1) {
            empty = false;
            for (int i = 0; i < readChars; ++i) {
                if (c[i] == '\n') {
                    ++count;
                }
            }
        }
        return (count == 0 && !empty) ? 1 : count;
    } finally {
        is.close();
    }
}

编辑，9年半后:我几乎没有java经验，但无论如何，我试图将这段代码与下面的LineNumberReader解决方案进行基准测试，因为没有人这样做让我感到困扰。似乎对于大文件，我的解决方案更快。虽然它似乎需要几次运行，直到优化器做一个像样的工作。我已经玩了一些代码，并产生了一个新版本，始终是最快的:

public static int countLinesNew(String filename) throws IOException {
    InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(filename));
    try {
        byte[] c = new byte[1024];
        
        int readChars = is.read(c);
        if (readChars == -1) {
            // bail out if nothing to read
            return 0;
        }
        
        // make it easy for the optimizer to tune this loop
        int count = 0;
        while (readChars == 1024) {
            for (int i=0; i<1024;) {
                if (c[i++] == '\n') {
                    ++count;
                }
            }
            readChars = is.read(c);
        }
        
        // count remaining characters
        while (readChars != -1) {
            for (int i=0; i<readChars; ++i) {
                if (c[i] == '\n') {
                    ++count;
                }
            }
            readChars = is.read(c);
        }
        
        return count == 0 ? 1 : count;
    } finally {
        is.close();
    }
}

1.3GB文本文件的基准测试结果，y轴以秒为单位。我已经对同一个文件执行了100次运行，并使用System.nanoTime()对每次运行进行了测量。您可以看到countLinesOld有一些异常值，而countLinesNew没有异常值，虽然它只是稍微快一点，但差异在统计上是显著的。LineNumberReader显然更慢。

如果你用这个

public int countLines(String filename) throws IOException {
    LineNumberReader reader  = new LineNumberReader(new FileReader(filename));
    int cnt = 0;
    String lineRead = "";
    while ((lineRead = reader.readLine()) != null) {}

    cnt = reader.getLineNumber(); 
    reader.close();
    return cnt;
}

你不能运行到大num行，比如100K行，因为从读取器返回。getLineNumber是int。你需要长类型的数据来处理最多的行。

扫描与regex:

public int getLineCount() {
    Scanner fileScanner = null;
    int lineCount = 0;
    Pattern lineEndPattern = Pattern.compile("(?m)$");  
    try {
        fileScanner = new Scanner(new File(filename)).useDelimiter(lineEndPattern);
        while (fileScanner.hasNext()) {
            fileScanner.next();
            ++lineCount;
        }   
    }catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return lineCount;
    }
    fileScanner.close();
    return lineCount;
}

还没记。

从Java代码中使用Process类如何?然后读取命令的输出。

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("wc -l " + yourfilename);
p.waitFor();

BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
int lineCount = 0;
while ((line = b.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(line);
    lineCount = Integer.parseInt(line);
}

不过需要尝试一下。将公布结果。
