Count words in list (String class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.9]


Note that processing a string of words may be better accomplished with the StringTokenizer class.

Syntax

%number = string:WordCount[( [Spaces= string])]

Syntax terms

%numberWordCount returns the number of words in the string method object.
string The list of words to be counted.
Spaces A set of "whitespace" characters, that is, characters that separate words. The default is the blank character. If the null string is provided, the blank character is used as the whitespace character.

Usage notes

Examples

The following fragment:

PrintText {~="I'd like to buy the world a joke":WordCount}

produces the following result:

"I'd like to buy the world a joke":WordCount=8
