So... if im right in thinking that the raws are DF`s code, great! If im not could someone please tell me where it is ( im terrible with modding/coding ) and if possible how many lines of code are there all together in DF?

The raws aren't the code.

What the raws are are encoding for all of the things that are in Dwarf Fortress (ie: how strong is a goblin? how fast is a dwarf? what is the sociopolitical structure of a dwarven settlement? does one become king in a farcical aquatic ceremony involving a lobbed scimitar?)

look at it this way; the code says that tehre are Z-levels and floors and squares, the raws say what kind of materials exist to fill out those things.

--edit--

also, you probably want to head over here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=13.0 and check ou0t the modding resources if you want to get a better understanding of all of this.

the code itself isn't open-source.

Someone already told you DF is written in C++; clearly there's more to the games than the raw files.
