The Notepad++ Word Count

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....

Yes, that is a bit hidden away, isn't it? Good tip. Thanks.

Thanks... You won't believe how long I've been looking for this. It should have a keyboard shortcut for fast access.
