word count

[msadesign]

Can anyone tell me how to count words in BBedit?

I really need to count words and I have no clue how to do it.

Thanks.

It depends on the context in which you need to do so: in the
scripting interface, "word" is an element of the "text document"
class, so you could write a script:

tell app "BBEdit"

count words of text document 1

end tell

Alternatively, the "Get Info" command on the View menu will
display (among other things) the document's word count.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
