Count the total number of words?

[shabbysquire]

Has anyone found an effective way of counting the total words? I assume this is done in Javascript?

Here you are c# snippet for that.

var inputstring = project.Variables["Text"].Value;
string texttostring = (inputstring);
int count = texttostring.Split(' ').Length;
return count;

Here you are c# snippet for that.

var inputstring = project.Variables["Text"].Value;
string texttostring = (inputstring);
int count = texttostring.Split(' ').Length;
return count;

Thanks. Do I place my variable :


var inputstring = project.Variables["Text"].Value;

I not like use C code only if is nessesery, you can count words above regex : \S+ count words, than count lines from list .

Question on C# for this snippet -- if the text is {-Variable.mytexthere-}, would the snippet be as follows?

var inputstring = {-Variable.mytexthere-};
string texttostring = (inputstring);
int count = texttostring.Split(' ').Length;
return count;


or the following:

var inputstring = project.Variables["mytexthere"].Value;
string texttostring = (inputstring);
int count = texttostring.Split(' ').Length;
return count;

What I love about ZP ... the ability to quick test and determine correct course of action .... the correct snippet is as follows:

var inputstring = project.Variables["mytexthere"].Value;
string texttostring = (inputstring);
int count = texttostring.Split(' ').Length;
return count;
