Try using the friendly UNIX 'awk' program and do a search for ';' and '}'. This seemed to work very well for a project I had in school. In addition, you can search for comments, blank lines, declarations of variables, ect, and come up with a few good measurements of complexity like percentages of statements vs. total lines and the like. Of course, all of this is for naught if you aren't in a UNIX envirnment. Hope this helps.
