Tools Scripts Word Count is broken; can I fix it?

Question

RH HTML; 8.0.2.208
The script at "Tools > Scripts > Word Count" says "Bad Argument GetTokenManager" and fails.
It broke while I had 8.0.1, or maybe while I had 8.0.0.
Can I fix this?

HI,
if the script is working for a dummy project, it means the script is working fine, and there is some issue when we run this script in your project.
Please open script pod and right click on the word count.jsx file and select edit option. this will open the word count script in Extendscript editor (or notepad).
Search for the following line in the script file var tknmgr = RoboHelp.getTokenManager (filepath);
and add the following statement before this line.  msg(filepath);
so the new code looks like
msg(filepath);
var tknmgr = RoboHelp.getTokenManager (filepath);
Now save this file and again run the script file from RoboHelp 8 by right click and run.
this will show the messages in the output view, as to which topic it is trying to open using the token manager and we can get to know where the script is breaking.
it will print the file path of the topic which is causing the problem, Please see if you can open that topic from project manager in your Project or not.
Do let me know the log in the output view, after you have modified the script file and run it again.
