I have used --exclude-lang = "xml" and --exclude-lang = "designer.cs" to exclude designer and xml files from count of lines changes in two different folders but it's not working.

Simple case of mis-capitalization. An easy way to troubleshoot this issue is to run cloc .

In your console, you'll see a table report printed like this:

cloc . output

You posted that you used: --exclude-lang = "xml". Instead you need to match the language description exactly. In the consoles output, you can see xml is all caps. If you update your flag too --exclude-lang="XML" you'll see that XML scanning is ignored.

Several languages can be excluded for instance by:

--exclude-lang="SVG,CSV,XML,Markdown,TeX,reStrcuturedText"
