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。

上面的count()方法给出的答案是，如果文件末尾没有换行符，就会出现行数错误——它无法计算文件中的最后一行。

这个方法更适合我:

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;
}

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
}

EOF处没有换行符('\n')的多行文件的最佳优化代码。
