Crystal word count 1

[baldr1c]

Does anyone know how to do a word count in a report.
The report has one main text field and I need to count how many words in this field and show it as a total for the whole report. I was thinking along the lines of counting how many time a " " came up in the field and then creating a running total of this. But I cannot get it to count the spaces.

Any suggestions.

TIA

Baldric,

See if this gives you what you want.

StringVar Array XXX := Split({YourFieldHere},' ');
UBound XXX;

Thanks Naith

You can also use
UBound(Split{field}))

Cheers
