You could use  `r(lnum)' stored by -hexdump- to get the number of lines.  
Here's a way to loop over all .do files in a directory and count up the # of lines:
((be sure to replace <yourfolderhere> with your folder path (e.g. "C:\myfolder" or "/users/me/documents//"))

***********!
global files: dir "<yourfolderhere>" files "*.do", nofail respectcase
di `"$files"'
loc tot = 0
foreach f in $files {
	qui hexdump "<yourfolderhere>`f'", results
	di in r  "`f':  `r(lnum)'"
	loc tot = `tot' + `r(lnum)'
	}
	
di "`tot'"   //this contains the overall total
***********!
