How to count words in a text ?

Hi all,
can anyone show me how to count the number of words in a text.
thank in advandce,
Toan.

Hi,
Are you reading the text from a file or is it stored in a string buffer?
The best way would be to use a StringTokenizer assuming that all your words are separated by a space ' ' you could use that as your delimiter.
Something like..
String text = "This is just a bunch of text stored as a string.";
StringTokenizer words = new StringTokenizer( text, " ", false );
int numberOfWords = words.countTokens();I hope that helps,

How to count the number of text boxes that are data entered

How to count the number of text boxes that are data entered in visual basic form.

Here is an Iterator that expands on my previous response:
''' <summary>
''' Iterator for form controls
''' </summary>
''' <param name="onlyControlsOfType">specify type if a certain type of controls needed</param>
''' <param name="onlyTopLevel">if true don't search containers within the form</param>
''' <returns></returns>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Private Iterator Function AllControls(Optional onlyControlsOfType As Type = Nothing, _
Optional onlyTopLevel As Boolean = False) As IEnumerable(Of Control)
Dim ctrl As Control = Me.GetNextControl(Me, True)
Do Until ctrl Is Nothing
If onlyControlsOfType Is Nothing OrElse ctrl.GetType = onlyControlsOfType Then
If TypeOf ctrl.Parent Is Form OrElse Not onlyTopLevel Then
Yield ctrl
End If
End If
ctrl = Me.GetNextControl(ctrl, True)
Loop
End Function
Some sample uses:
For Each
For Each c As Control In AllControls()
Debug.WriteLine(c.Name)
Next
List of all controls, including controls in containers i.e. Groupbox
Dim l As List(Of Control) = AllControls().ToList
List of all Textbox controls, including Textboxes in containers i.e. Groupbox
l = AllControls(GetType(TextBox)).ToList
List of all Textbox controls, don't include Textboxes in containers i.e. Groupbox
l = AllControls(GetType(TextBox), True).ToList

Counting words in a text widget

Hi,
Is there a way I can count the number of words in a text box widget? I realise that means counting the number of words in the attached variable - but can I do this?
I have tried playing with Javascript (about which I know nothing)
I put the script below into the script window for a button, but nothing seems to happen!
Test=Q5WidgetAnswer.split(" ").length-1;
document.write(Test);
I want to check for three words in an answer and if there are only two, or four, warn that there are Three answers.
Would be grateful for any help!

After much heartache I solved the issue.
The code needed to be as follows:
var objCP = document.Captivate;
var Answer = objCP.cpEIGetValue('WidgetAnswer');
var Words;
if(Answer == ''){ /* tests for empty answer */
Words=0;
alert("Fred")
else {
Words = Answer.replace(/[^ ]/g,'').length+1; /* counts the number of spaces in answer */
Where objCP can be any name you want, and cpEISetValue and cpEIGetValue are special Captivate functions
/* and */ enclose a comment

How to count words in a PDF file?

Is there any way I can count words in a PDF file without resorting to Acrobat Reader (which apparently has that feature)?
That's a massive program, which I actually don't like.
I need to count words in the PDF file because I write my papers with LaTeX, and they're full of my extensive comments.
Do you know of any alternative?

that utility IIRC cannot be found on xpdf (the official Archlinux package) anymore and its part of poppler
edit: its pdftotext btw

How to count words?

Hello, namless hero~
Just like the title said, if you has any idear, please reply this post, thanks!!

There are two basic ways I can think of to do this. Either get the text, and run your own word count alogorithm on it, or use the word boundary methods in ParagraphElement. In the first instance, you have more control over what is considered as a word, and in the second way you let the Player decide.
Option 1:
You can get the text of the TextFlow by exporting using the plain text filter:
     var text:String = TextFilter.export(textFlow, PLAIN_TEXT_FORMAT, ConversionType.STRING_TYPE) as String;
Once you have the text, just scan through it to find the words. This is the best way if you want to define for yourself what constitutes a word.
If there is going to be a lot of text, you may prefer to look at it paragraph by paragraph. So instead you would loop through the paragraphs in the flow, and call getText() on each one, and then run your algorithimn on the String returned by getText().
Option 2:
Otherwise, you could iterate through the paragraphs of the flow, looking for word boundaries. This will get you all possible word boundaries, including between spaces. To do this, it would look something like this:
     var paragraph:ParagraphElement = textFlow.getFirstLeaf().getParagraph();
     do {
          var relativePosition:int = paragraph.findWordBoundary(0);
          while (relativePosition < paragraph.textLength)
               trace("Word boundary at", paragraph.getAbsoluteStart() + relativePosition);
               relativePosition = paragraph.findWordBoundary(relativePosition);
          paragraph = paragraph.getNextParagraph();
     } while (paragraph != null);
I haven't compiled this or debugged it, and I coded it from memory, but hopefully this will serve as a guideline for what you could do.

How to split words alone from text ?

how to split the text from a text file even with out the special characters to be stored to DB.I have seperated words using split.but it is having special charecters. is there any option with split to give special characters too as delimiters (i mean multilple delimiters).
Or any other way to get the words and integers alone?

gs_ravishankar wrote:
i think his problem is he has a file which has some text row wise, this text contains different special characters.
and his job is to read the text from the file and remove all special characters in the text and store this string in DB.
if this is the case,
i would suggest to get the ascii value range of all special characters and then write a condition for it.
may be something like this
if(text.chatAt(i) >= 12 && text.charAt(i) <= 45)
text.replace();Jeebus, have you ever heard of regular expressions?

How to make words in a text field change color in play mode by clicking on them?

I have a text field on a slide, wanting to change the color of certain words randomly by clicking on them in play mode. I dont know what word in what order will be mentioned by the audience, so I can not set a fixed order in advance.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

create a slide with all the text boxes in place
duplicate the slide as many times as you have text boxes you want to change colour
on the second slide, change the colour of one of the text boxes as required
on the first slide, select one of the text boxes
open the inspector: Inspector > Hyperlink >
enable as hyperlink > link to slide > click slide button > select the correct slide from the drop down menu
in play mode, clicking on the hyperlink will display the appropriate slide with that text changing colour
repeate the process for each text box

How to count frequency of specific text in Column?

Hi All,
We have an FR , designed in FR studio which when run, pulls from hfm the " Calculation Status" of all the entities in a text column. The Status come as "OK", "SC","CN" ,"CH"etc. see below exmple:
Entity                              Status
C1                                   CH

How to Count total number of Words in PDF?

I am used Adobe Acrobat javascript inbuilt function getPageNumWords(<pagenumber>) it return the number of words present in specified page, but while am copy and paste text content from PDF file to MS Word, Words count given by MS Word is little bit differ, so any one know in which aspect Acrobat count the words?
Which words count result is correct?
Shall is go with Acrobat Words count result or MS Words count result?
But I want to count the total number of words in PDF file (my input is PDF file) else can I go with iText?
Words count in PDf using iText is possible?

Word counts are likely to vary a little according to how you count. For instance, are hyphenated words one or two words? What if the hyphen is at the end of a line? Do numbers count as words? Headers and footers? Captions?
Generally, you just accept a slight variation. If you are counting words in a professional context, i.e. where payment is per word, you probably need a contractual definition of how words are to be counted; in the absence of one, I suggest you use Word.

How in Flash CS4 to change text words of .fla file from a website template?

I have a website template in which I am trying to change the header text words and menu text words to customize the template. How do I do this in Flash CS4? Thanks!

There are any number of ways these text elements might have been designed into the file. So you pretty much have to search for things. If you do not see the text that you want to change when you open the fla file, then you may need to either make some layers visible that are not (eyeball icon next to layer name) or you may need to look into the actionscript code to see if the text is being dynamically written when the file opens. If you happened to receive any .as, .txt, or .xml files with the template, the text elements may also be defined in those files.
Just so you know, and this is just an observation, it appears from experience in these forums that template designers tend to make templates so that you are more likely to hire them to update things than to be able to solve it yourself.

How do I cut and paste text from a Word doc to my yahoo email?

I am suddenly unable to cut and paste from a Word document into the body of my yahoo email. I never had this problem before, but recently trying to paste my resume into the site 4entertainmentjobs.com, I ran into trouble. I followed your instructions and found my profile folder, but there was no user.js file in there. I created one in text edit and replaced mozilla.org with 4entertainmentjobs.com, but it still didn't work. Today I tried to go back and put Mozilla back in, but I still cannot get it to work. Then I downloaded your add-on "allow clipboard". That did not work either.
