T-Online eMailHello, Ralf.

It's not easy to count words; Word seems to consider the isolated " sign as one word! And the words separated by hyphens, are they two or one?

Simpler would be to count characters, and according to my texts "Grant" is 1000 characters longer than "IM". So we disagree!

I should take a deeper look to the question. I think it's important to know which one is Verne's longest novel.

Best regards,

Christian Sánchez

Dear Christian, dear all,

my textcount software (TextCount 6.1) gives the following result (with the "word" count not referring to "real" words, but words longer than 8 characters are counted as two words) :

      File
     Characters
     Words
     
      IleMysterieuse.doc
     1.222.522
     233.013

     1.203.413
     227.768
     
      Sandorf.doc

     213.431
     
      TOTAL
     4.412.990
     839.493
     


Results of the Microsoft Word statistics (characters incl. spaces -- and words as "real" words):

ILE MYSTERIEUSE:
  1,214,119 characters
     201,625 words

GRANT:
   1,198,583 characters
      198,452 words
