Count the lines of several methods but return separate values not the sum of all

Question

I'm going to elabortate my question because I had a hard time labeling the question the right way.

I'm labeling my methods like this:

 /*Start*/
  public void contadorDeLineas(File file)throws IOException{
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
    String line;
/*Finish*/

I have several methods labeled like that but I want to count them separately, but the code I wrote counts the lines inside the methods starting from public and finishing in "Finish". But as for now the code I wrote counts all the lines inside the methods and return the sum of all the lines. What I want to do is read the first block return that value and continue searching for the next block of code. This is the code I wrote

public void LinesMethods(File file)throws IOException{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line;
int lines_inside = 0;

while((line = br.readLine())!=null){
  if(line.startsWith("/*St")){
    do{
      line = br.readLine();
      line = line.trim();
      System.out.println(line);
      if(!(line.equals("") || line.startsWith("/*"))){
        lines_inside++;
      }
    }while(!line.startsWith("/*Fi"));
  }
}
br.close();
System.out.println("Found: " + lines_inside);
}

This is an example of what my code is showing in the console

/*Start*/
public void LineMethods(File file)throws IOException{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line;
/*Finish*/
/*Start*/
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException{
program2 test = new program2();
File root = new File(args[0]);
test.LOC(root);
System.out.println("Found: " + test.lines);
System.out.println("Other type of lines: " + test.toDo);
}
}
/*Finish*/
Block comments lines: 11

Instead I'm looking for a result like a first print showing the number 3 and then a number 8. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Try this

    try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file))) {
        boolean inside = false;
        int count = 0;
        String line;
        while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
            if (line.contains("/*Start*/")) {
                inside = true;
                count = 0;
            } else if (line.contains("/*Finish*/")) {
                System.out.println("Found: " + count);
                inside = false;
            } else if (inside) {
                ++count;
            }
        }
        if (inside && count > 0)
            System.out.println("Found: " + count);
    }
