Word count software

[Jeff Needle]

Is there some freeware that will enable me to count the number of words
in a marked block? Some software I'm looking at doesn't have this
feature, and it's important I have this. Perhaps someone has written
something like this.

Thanks.

I'm using WinXP SP2.

What about pasting it into a word processor (OOo, frex) and letting the
word processor do the count for you?

If you use/get GnuWin32 you can count the word in the Windows Clipboard
with a one line batch file:

@getclip | wc -w


from coreutils:
wc.exe

from cygutils:
getclip.exe

and the dependencies:
libiconv2.dll
libintl3.dll
popt1.dll

Open Office
Writer (the word proccessor) has a word count under the tools menu...
thats what I most use open office for above anything else ..

OF.. my only wish is that an international spell checker is made
available, we speak a different brand of english here in Australia to
the standard American spell checker that comes with the package, but
hey ... it's got to be the best win32 download I've found in a long
long time.... free or other.

Yeah, that may be just as easy.

Thanks.

Found the perfect program -- Text Tally! I copy the text to the
clipboard, and Text Tally tells me how many words there are.

Thanks!
