要知道文件里有多少行，唯一的方法就是数数。当然，你可以从你的数据中创建一个指标，给你一个平均长度的一行，然后得到文件大小，并除以平均长度，但这不会是准确的。

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。

我知道这是一个老问题，但公认的解决方案并不完全符合我所需要的。因此，我将其改进为接受各种行结束符(而不仅仅是换行)并使用指定的字符编码(而不是ISO-8859-n)。所有在一个方法(适当重构):

public static long getLinesCount(String fileName, String encodingName) throws IOException {
    long linesCount = 0;
    File file = new File(fileName);
    FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(file);
    try {
        Charset encoding = Charset.forName(encodingName);
        Reader fileReader = new InputStreamReader(fileIn, encoding);
        int bufferSize = 4096;
        Reader reader = new BufferedReader(fileReader, bufferSize);
        char[] buffer = new char[bufferSize];
        int prevChar = -1;
        int readCount = reader.read(buffer);
        while (readCount != -1) {
            for (int i = 0; i < readCount; i++) {
                int nextChar = buffer[i];
                switch (nextChar) {
                    case '\r': {
                        // The current line is terminated by a carriage return or by a carriage return immediately followed by a line feed.
                        linesCount++;
                        break;
                    }
                    case '\n': {
                        if (prevChar == '\r') {
                            // The current line is terminated by a carriage return immediately followed by a line feed.
                            // The line has already been counted.
                        } else {
                            // The current line is terminated by a line feed.
                            linesCount++;
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                }
                prevChar = nextChar;
            }
            readCount = reader.read(buffer);
        }
        if (prevCh != -1) {
            switch (prevCh) {
                case '\r':
                case '\n': {
                    // The last line is terminated by a line terminator.
                    // The last line has already been counted.
                    break;
                }
                default: {
                    // The last line is terminated by end-of-file.
                    linesCount++;
                }
            }
        }
    } finally {
        fileIn.close();
    }
    return linesCount;
}

这个解决方案在速度上与公认的解决方案相当，在我的测试中大约慢了4%(尽管Java中的计时测试是出了名的不可靠)。

我测试了上面的方法来计数行，这里是我对不同方法的观察，在我的系统上进行了测试

文件大小:1.6 Gb 方法:

使用扫描仪:大约35秒 使用BufferedReader:大约5s 使用Java 8: 5s左右 使用LineNumberReader:大约5s

此外，Java8方法似乎非常方便:

Files.lines(Paths.get(filePath), Charset.defaultCharset()).count()
[Return type : long]

一个直接的方式使用扫描器

static void lineCounter (String path) throws IOException {

        int lineCount = 0, commentsCount = 0;

        Scanner input = new Scanner(new File(path));
        while (input.hasNextLine()) {
            String data = input.nextLine();

            if (data.startsWith("//")) commentsCount++;

            lineCount++;
        }

        System.out.println("Line Count: " + lineCount + "\t Comments Count: " + commentsCount);
    }

我已经实现了这个问题的另一个解决方案，我发现它在计算行数时更有效:

try
(
   FileReader       input = new FileReader("input.txt");
   LineNumberReader count = new LineNumberReader(input);
)
{
   while (count.skip(Long.MAX_VALUE) > 0)
   {
      // Loop just in case the file is > Long.MAX_VALUE or skip() decides to not read the entire file
   }

   result = count.getLineNumber() + 1;                                    // +1 because line index starts at 0
}
