Jan 04, 2010 Now I need some way to find a Character Count (including spaces). MacBook Air SSD - Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.2), AEBS 802.11(n) Posted on Jan 4, 2010 7:51 AM. Reply I have this question too (131) I have this question too Me too (131. The Character Viewer that appears shows emoji by default, and with an input cursor in any app or form field that lets you type in text, you can double click emoji to insert them or drag them into. The following AppleScript adds a word (and character) count pop-up dialog to TextEdit: tell application 'TextEdit' set wordcount to count words of document 1 set charcount to count characters of.
Add interactive charts in Numbers on Mac. An interactive chart presents data in stages so that you can emphasize the relationship between groups of data. You can use an interactive chart to show data like sales by group over time, expenses by department, and population changes by region per continent.

Here's a tip to create a word count service that will work in most Mac OS X applications including TextEdit. I like this solution better because it works everywhere:

Would it be possible to have the script report counts for both selected and total?
Sorry, this didn't work in Leopard on an Al PBG4. The preference described for Script Editor was not there, restarting TextEdit didn't do it. I seem to remember reading how to do this in the past (pre-Leopard), but I've only succeeded in adding scripts to the menu in iTunes.
Perhaps this is a Snow Leopard-only trick? If so, maybe it should be labelled as such.

I will change it to Snow Leopard only. Thanks!

Actually, the hint works fine in 10.5. What changed from 10.5 to 10.6 is the spot where you enable the Scripts menu item: you'll find it in Applications » AppleScript » AppleScript Utility in 10.5
In 10.6, they merged the functionality of AppleScript Utility directly into the AppleScript Editor.

Or you could use the built-in 'wc' command-line utility. How to delete chrome app from mac. Set this to 'display as tooltip':
<code>wc | awk '{ print $1,'lines,',$2,'words,',$3,'characters'; }'</code>
<code>wc | awk '{ print $1,'lines,',$2,'words,',$3,'characters'; }'</code>
A better solution is to grab WordService, a free OS X service that works in any app. The included 'Statistics' service gives you word/character counts, and it comes with a bunch of other useful text manipulation services as well.
I use that WordService (on Leopard) and love it. It will convert case of selected text in many apps, too (but not Firefox, sorry to say).
I assigned shortcut keys for lowercase, all caps, initial caps of words, and initial caps of sentences. Works great in TextEdit. Samsung ml 2525w software machine.
Thanks for the hint, I've been wanting this function for a while but hadn't gotten around to doing anything about it. Using this and another thread from a couple years back I put together a version that counts selected text (so I can track what I've added recently, rather than necessarily the whole document), and added a title, icon, and customized buttons.

Code is a bit hacky, but works fine for me on a Mac Pro with 10.6.3: Edited for width by crarko

Updated code, once I got through fiddling with it. Includes word, character and paragraph counts by document and selection, and a (commented out) option for a voice report instead of a dialog box.. because that's awesome:) edited for width by crarkoEdited on May 13, '10 05:15:10AM by crarko
I don't know if you looked at this post after you wrote it, but it could use some line wrapping.
Hmm, right you are and apologies to all, but sadly it seems I can no longer edit the post. How does one insert those useful code boxes in a post?
