I would like to have a word count plugin to replace the g<C-g>
command. The results of the latter are displayed so briefly and
amongst other details that it is hard to be certain what they are.
I've found a "manuscript word count" plugin at vim.org. The creator
explains that "Standard word count utilities (like unix 'wc') do not
provide an accurate count because they count breaks between words. In
fiction writing, some sentences--like this one--have more words than
breaks between words."
So it does what I want but there are no installation instructions and
I'm not certain how to install it. I put it in ~/.vim/plugin and
reloaded Vim but it does not work.
Suggestions for getting the plugin to work would be appreciated.
Likewise regarding alternatives to it and the built-in word count
command.
I'd assume that a word count is supposed to count words ("word" as in :h
word), not WORDs. So here is a simple command you can put in the vimrc:
com! -bar -range=% WC call WordCount(<line1>,<line2>)
let g:wordcount_pat = '\k\+\%(''\k\+\)\='
" this counts "don't" as one word
func! WordCount(line1, line2)
let n_words = 0
for str in getline(a:line1, a:line2)
let n_words += len(split(str, g:wordcount_pat, 1))-1
endfor
echo "counted" n_words "words"
endfunc
(or the same as a one-liner)
com! -bar -range=% WC echo printf("counted %d words",
\ eval(join(map(getline(<line1>,<line2>),
\ 'len(split(v:val, g:wordcount_pat, 1))-1'), "+")))
