[TxMt] Re: Character and Word Counting of Highlighted Text

[Stuart Wheeler]

OK, got my license. Thanks!

I hadn't even looked at the command stuff that closely - reminds me a 
little of TextPad on Windows. This opens up a whole new world of 
usefulness. I changed your command to:

wc | /usr/bin/awk '{print "lines:", $1, " words:", $2, " chars:", $3}'

That seems to explain the numbers a little better.
