This is a bit off topic, but I have added a word count command to TextMate for Latex using texWordCount.pl as described here

http://markelikalderon.com/blog/2007/12/30/latex-and-word-count-revisited/

This raised two questions.

1. Is there a "good practice" place to put such snippets of code, and

2. I put it in ~Library/Application Support/Textmate/Code

Adding the "Code" folder to the existing directory tree.

But this led me to a new problem in that I couldn't work out how to get that directory tree found when trying to run the code. In Windows, because of the space in "Application Support" I would gve the full and wrap it in quotes, but the cmbinations I tried failed to work.

At the moment, I have created a new folder ~Library/TextMate for the script and the word count seem to work well, it also picks up possible errors in your latex code, but I haven't investigated that yet. A google search confirms the need to use quotes, but I can't find an illustration of exactly where these quotes go.

Some help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Graham
