Hello,

Is there any way to count characters in a tex file? I'm using TexnicCenter and I was only able to find a tool for word counting (http://lwc.sourceforge.net).

Thanks a lot for any suggestion,

A.

Sorry, there is no such feature in TeXnicCenter at the moment.

But if the tool you mentioned is able to receive the path of the latex file to count the words in from the command line, you could create an entry in TXC's tools menu for that tool and so you could simply invoke a word count for the current file or project.

Yes, but the tool can manage only word count, not character count. How can one count characters in the final text?

Thanx a lot,

I think an easy solution is to use an web-based character counter for pdf files, after compiling your tex document.

LaTeX.org
