please show example of excluding node_modules

[ORESoftware]

This is NPM this is Node.js, the docs say use a regex to exclude, but what kind of regex? A JS regex?

A nice example would be excluding node_modules when running sloc against an NPM project

I am guessing this is the one:

sloc -e node_modules .

but I cannot be certain - in fact I am fairly certain this is not working, my machine is getting hot!

I'm doing this and works fine

$ cd project-root
$ sloc --defails --exclude node_modules ./

This should be added as an example directly on the npm and or github page.

This works for me... npx sloc --format cli-table --format-option head --exclude "node_modules|build|\.svg$\.xml" ./

Doesn't seem to be working. The issue here (and I'm suspecting @ORESoftware is doing the same) is that I am using lerna to automatically create virtual subpackages using symbolic links. sloc is unwrapping the symbolic links to the relative path (and recursively walking through the tree which will probably turn my machine into a great heater if I let it run). While it should be possible to work around this, I'm not sure if there is a one-size-fits-all workaround that would still allow for the simplicity of this tool to be preserved. Therefore, my recommendation would be for a command line flag that can treat all symlinks as nonexistant files/folders, for compatibility with lerna.

We're having the same issue, and we're not using Lerna.
