Word count in html files
Hi

does somebody know how to do a word count in a .html file?
Just the text words, without all the html code.

Thanks

This would remove all the HTML tags, assuming nothing fancy. It also makes an assumption that the "text words" doen't contain >

Code:
sed "s/<[^>]*>//g" file.html | wc -w

there is two scenarios -
Code:
<html>word</html>

and
Code:
<html> word </html>

for both it should give 1

Code:
sed 's/ </</'< $filename | sed 's/ \<//'|wc -w

thank you I used this:
Code:
  sed "s/<[^>]*>//g" file.html

to clean the file from the html codes.

Now I need to clean it from the templates code that are enclosed like that:
Code:
{{...}}

I tried this
Code:
sed -e "s/{{[^}]}}//g"

but it doesn't work.

Any idea?

thank you
