Word count

The example shows you how to open a text document and count number of words and paragraphs.

C# example

using System;
using Independentsoft.Odf;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int wordCount = 0;
            string[] separator = new string[] { " " };

            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument("c:\\test.odt");

            Text[] texts = doc.GetTexts();

            for (int i = 0; i < texts.Length; i++)
            {
                string[] words = texts[i].Value.Split(separator, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
                wordCount += words.Length;
            }

            Paragraph[] paragraphs = doc.GetParagraphs();

            int emptyParagraphCount = 0;

            for (int j = 0; j < paragraphs.Length; j++)
            {
                if(paragraphs[j].Content.Count == 0)
                {
                    emptyParagraphCount++;
                }
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Paragraphs=" + paragraphs.Length);
            Console.WriteLine("Empty paragraphs=" + emptyParagraphCount);
            Console.WriteLine("Words=" + wordCount);

            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports Independentsoft.Odf

Module Module1
    Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)

        Dim wordCount As Integer = 0
        Dim separator As String() = New String() {" "}

        Dim doc As New TextDocument("c:\test.odt")

        Dim texts As Text() = doc.GetTexts()

        For i As Integer = 0 To texts.Length - 1
            Dim words As String() = texts(i).Value.Split(separator, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
            wordCount += words.Length
        Next

        Dim paragraphs As Paragraph() = doc.GetParagraphs()

        Dim emptyParagraphCount As Integer = 0

        For j As Integer = 0 To paragraphs.Length - 1
            If paragraphs(j).Content.Count = 0 Then
                emptyParagraphCount += 1
            End If
        Next

        Console.WriteLine("Paragraphs=" & paragraphs.Length)
        Console.WriteLine("Empty paragraphs=" & emptyParagraphCount)
        Console.WriteLine("Words=" & wordCount)

        Console.Read()

    End Sub
End Module
