How to Count Lines of Code in ColdFusion

ColdFusion is an application from Adobe made for the development of Internet applications. Many applications require extensive use of code to achieve the desired results, and knowing the number of lines of code lets programmers narrow down error locations and keep track of how much code is going into the application. By default, the line numbers are hidden in ColdFusion. In order to view the line numbers and count the lines of code, users must enable the setting.
