Subject:word count utility for text files? From:Chris Lange <clange -at- SDICORP -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 20 Oct 1998 13:24:22 -0400
Anyone know of a word count utility that will burrow down through many
different subdirectories and give a word count for whatever disparate file
types it finds? In other words, a utility I could (conceivably) run from
my dos root directory and have it give me a word count for any file it
finds ascii text in, regardless of file extension.
Thanks for any help given.
Chris
