Count words (.doc, .pdf, .txt) in ASP

[SpanishWeb]

Hi,

I have a page where i can upload files (.thml, .doc, .pdf, .txt).

But now, i need to know the number of words in the uploaded files. Is this possible?

For example, i know how to convert a .doc in a .txt and this way to count words easly (office needed).

But, do you know any component, or object to do this?

I think if you Microsoft Index server it can be made do it once the file is indexed. It has been some years since I have used it though.

I don't want to install office on the server.

Do you know Aspose wordsn for .net? I have contacted them to ask if they support classic asp too.

You do not need to install office on the server to use index server and have it index word documents.

Yes Aspose Words is accessible via com objects, thus availible via classic asp. I use Aspose Words in my daily work in dot.net projects. But I try to recommend free software first before sugguesting something you have to pay for to use legally.

No problem to pay if it works. We are testing aspose.

I don't know free software to do this with pdf, doc, and other type of files.
