Is there a script can count How many lines,and one line have how many words In a text box?

[dublove]

I have see there is a script for counting how many words in a document.

Also,Is there a script can count How many lines,and one line have how many words In a text box?

And they should be combined in a script.

Thank you~~

Hi ednly,

Is this is your requirement:

var myWords = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().words.everyItem().getElements();

alert("words in the document: " + myWords.length)


var myLines = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().lines.everyItem().getElements();

alert("lines in the document : " + myLines.length)

myCount = 0;

for(i=0; i<myLines.length; i++)
{
    myCount++

    var myWords = myLines.words.everyItem().getElements();

    alert("Line " + myCount + ": " + myWords.length + " words count")

    }

hi ednly,

the script by Siraj works perfectly. If you need to know the counts for one text box e.g. selected box then here is the script.

var myWords = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().words.everyItem().getElements(); 

$.writeln("total words in the document: " + myWords.length)  // you can replace $.writeln with alert if you want.

     var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

     var mytextFrame = myDoc.selection[0];

     if (myDoc.selection.length == 1)

          {

               var myLines = mytextFrame.lines              //.everyItem().getElements; 

               $.writeln("lines in the selected text frame are : " + myLines.length) 

               myCount = 0; 

               for(i=0; i<myLines.length; i++)      

                    { 

                        myCount++ 

                        var myWords = myLines.words.everyItem().getElements(); 

                        $.writeln ("Line " + myCount + ": " + myWords.length + " words count") 

                   } 

          }

else {

    alert ("No text frame is selected");

    }

Hi virender~

No any response

hi edny,

the count will appear at Window => "Javascript console", once you run script.

Otherwise $.writeln with alert in script to see as alert.
