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。

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;
    }
}

EOF处没有换行符('\n')的多行文件的最佳优化代码。

/**
 * 
 * @param filename
 * @return
 * @throws IOException
 */
public static int countLines(String filename) throws IOException {
    int count = 0;
    boolean empty = true;
    FileInputStream fis = null;
    InputStream is = null;
    try {
        fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
        is = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
        byte[] c = new byte[1024];
        int readChars = 0;
        boolean isLine = false;
        while ((readChars = is.read(c)) != -1) {
            empty = false;
            for (int i = 0; i < readChars; ++i) {
                if ( c[i] == '\n' ) {
                    isLine = false;
                    ++count;
                }else if(!isLine && c[i] != '\n' && c[i] != '\r'){   //Case to handle line count where no New Line character present at EOF
                    isLine = true;
                }
            }
        }
        if(isLine){
            ++count;
        }
    }catch(IOException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }finally {
        if(is != null){
            is.close();    
        }
        if(fis != null){
            fis.close();    
        }
    }
    LOG.info("count: "+count);
    return (count == 0 && !empty) ? 1 : count;

在基于unix的系统上，在命令行上使用wc命令。

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);
    }
