The Notepad++ Word Count

Posted by Mark Alexander Bain Oct 23, 2008

I've been a long time fan of Notepad++, in fact I've just used it for the Javascript coding for An Introduction to Dynamic HTML with Javascript; however, I've always felt it's been lacking one thing - a word count. Turns out that I've just been looking in the wrong place.

To carry out a word count in Notepad++:

• select all of the text (by pressing Control-A)
• click on TextFX (on the menu bar)
• then click on TextFX Tools
• and then Word Count

and that's all there is to it.

Now if I could just get Notepad++ to work on my Jornada 720....
