Count words in the ascx file

Question

User1167928869 posted

Hello!

I have 163 .resx files. I want to count the words in these files, because my want to translate the sentences (my task is the localisation).

Now I'm opening each file in Ms Visual Studio and I count words manually. How can I count words in all files? And the second question: can I use a program what grab strings from .resx into an editor where I can translate them and save bacn into .resx files? Or must open the files one by one and edit the text fields manually?

Thanks for helping, unfortunately I'm not a programmer.

hi,

you can count no. of words by simply copying all the text from .resx file to a word file, and then using 'word count' utility in the MS word.

Hi,

Below is given the code using which you can read all the content of a particular file and find the character count. You can later expand this snippet to find the total number of characters in all files inside a particular folder (in your scenario, which may be App_GlobalResources).

Imports System
Imports System.IO

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Try
            ' Create an instance of FileStream to read from a file.
            Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\TestFile.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
            ' Create an instance of StramReader to read the file's content
            Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(fs)
            Dim text As String
            'Setting pointer at beginning of file
            sr.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)
            text = sr.ReadToEnd()
            Dim FileLength As Long = text.Length 'Holds the total number of characters, number and symbols in file
            Console.Write(text.Length) 'Writes the length of file content on Console
            sr.Close() 'Closing StreamReader
            fs.Close() 'Closing FileStream
        Catch E As Exception
            ' Let the user know what went wrong.
            Console.WriteLine("The file could not be read:")
            Console.WriteLine(E.Message)
        End Try
        Console.ReadKey()
    End Sub

End Module
