I'm not a programmer by any means, but I did write this little word-counter while going through a Ruby book. You might find it useful...? ---- lines = File.readlines("text.txt")
line_count = lines.size
text = lines.join
total_characters = text.length
total_characters_nospaces = text.gsub(/\s+/, '').length
word_count = text.split.length
sentence_count = text.split(/\.|\?|!/).length
paragraph_count = text.split(/\n\n/).length puts "This document contains:"
puts "#{line_count} lines"
puts "#{total_characters} characters"
puts "#{total_characters_nospaces} characters excluding spaces"
puts "#{word_count} words"
puts "#{sentence_count} sentences."
puts "#{paragraph_count} paragraphs."
puts "#{sentence_count / paragraph_count} sentences per paragraph (average)"
puts "#{word_count / sentence_count} words per sentence (average)" |
