I have from the beginning. Sorry I didn't say so in my first message.
Other than that, this should work. Perhaps you could try it on increasingly bigger files? For instance does it work for 400 characters? 1000? 2000?
With my test file, I can get a good response with 464 lines/4,705 words/26 kb, but if I have one more newline, it fails. I can add more words to the end of line 464 and it will work, though. The test file is about 690 lines.
When I tried a different file (about 6210 lines), the break point changed to line 2981 (27,000+ words/154kb). Again, one more newline causes the problem, but I can add a lot more text (I added the Lorem Ipsum snippet).
---time passes---
OK. I looked at the structure of the lines. The command fails when the ae ligature (æ) appears in the middle of a word. It doesn't fail when it appears at the beginning or the end of a word. A brief test shows that some accented characters also fail (á fails but not é, sometimes ö fails and sometimes it doesn't). I'll have to do some more testing.
Thanks for your response -- seems like I have some more work to do :)
