 Posted: Thu May 24, 2007 5:48 pm Post subject: clipboard word count, possible? |
 |
|
Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to make a simple clipboard word count with AutoHotKey.
This is the farthest I got, just for testing purposes:
| Code: | Loop, parse, clipboard, %A_Space%,
{
MsgBox, %A_Index%
}
return |
I guess I would get it if I could retrieve what is the number of the last loop, that is, the last %A_Index%.
Any suggestion?

Try this:
| Code: | Loop, parse, clipboard, %A_Space%,
{
;MsgBox, %A_Index%
Totalwords = %A_Index%
}
MsgBox, %Totalwords% |

| Code: |
StringSplit, count, Clipboard, %A_space%`n, `r
msgbox, %count0%
|
This also takes into account carriage returns

A parsing loop outperforms StringSplit, so I'd use ggirf14's method. It can also be done with RegEx, so if you're interested:
| Code: | RegExReplace(clipboard, "\b.+?\b", "", count)
count := Ceil(count / 2)
MsgBox, There are %count% words in the clipboard. |

Wow! Thank you fellow users!
I found the script from ggirf14 more accurate.
Titan, I didn't know that a regexmatch could be converted into a number, or am I missing something?

However I doubt it's accurate enough because it depends on the number of spaces between words. It also reports words to be on the clipboard when there are only spaces there. The same applies to engunneer's example.
Titan's code is the best, though it must depend on what is considered to be word and non-word characters, in which, as far as I know, AutoHotkey is currently fully reliable only for English texts. So a word having a national character in the middle will probably be taken for two words.
Perhaps this variation may be more 'international':
| Code: |
RegExReplace(Clipboard, "\S(?:\s|$)", "", Count)
Msgbox, % Count

StringReplace?
| Quote: | | When the last parameter is UseErrorLevel, ErrorLevel is given the number occurrences replaced (0 if none). Otherwise, ErrorLevel is set to 1 if SearchText is not found within InputVar, or 0 if it is found. |
| Code: | StringReplace, OutputVar, ClipBoard, Autohotkey, , UseErrorLevel
MsgBox, The word 'Autohotkey' occurs %ErrorLevel% times within the text. |
