Dear Friends

Sometimes I write pages and unknowingly optimize on another word by accident.

Does anybody know of a tool that will do the following? Consider this text.

Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow and everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go.

Word : Frequency

Mary : 2
lamb : 2
had : 1
a : 1
little : 1
its : 1

etc…

It would be a very useful tool.

Yep, sure is. WORDFREQ version 2.3.1

I use it in conjunction with Gunning Fog software. And welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Here are a couple of FREE software programs that may help you.

TextSTAT (not the sourceforge project of that name, but in the "Dutch Philology" section of the fu-berlin.de site) enables word counts of ALL the different words in a corpus (one or more files), as well as to create a "concordance" for any word. (It also allows you to analyze HTML pages --stripped of HTML tags if you wish-- locally or via their URL.)

TextWiz -can be used to count all the words, characters or lines in a text-block or file (Help, text, HTML --though it doesn't strip tags), as well as to count the number of uses of keywords (one at a time). It also provides functions to search and replace in several files at once, to extract metatags and to FTP files.

TextWiz may be a good program... not enough on the website to judge it by... but I'd certainly read the FAQ page on the Harmony Hollow site to see what their software does to your right-context menu before I downloaded and installed the software. The company is very nice about it, but still... how thoughtless can you get?

A good text editor like notetab does this. In blocks, files or across files.

I'm not sure they all will give you a list of counts for each different word, but you are right about NoteTab (forgot about that). As a matter of fact, even the free NoteTab Light gives all sorts of text stats.
