Hey there,

Currently, I can count characters with this:

myText = text.sourceText;
myText.length

What I really need is a way to count the number of words within a text layer.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

There is probably a more accurate way to to this is, but this will be accurate most of the time:

function getNumWords( string ) {

  // Split the string where there is spaces, then count the array length
  return string.split( ' ' ).length
}

How can I get the number of word in a text layer?
