Try this written in Ruby:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU
lines = STDIN.readlines 

# Find out the caret's position within the whole document as we may need to 
# more back and forwards across line boundaries while building up the 
# selector signature. 
line_index = ENV['TM_LINE_INDEX'].to_i 
line_number = ENV['TM_LINE_NUMBER'].to_i - 1 - 1  # starts from 1 and stop on line before 

# caret_placement identifies the index of the character to the left of the caret's position. 
caret_placement = (0..line_number).inject(0) {|sum, i| sum + lines[i].length} + line_index - 1 

print caret_placement


------

with the entire document sent to the script
