upload files and count number of words

[tim knox]

can someone help me!

i am using ASP Upload to upload files to my server. Does anyone know how I could automatically work out the number of words in each file? The files could be a .doc, .xls, .txt or .pdf

you could read the file to a string and try using the split method.


string filestring = File.ReadAllTex t(filepath);
string[] word = filestring.Spli t(' ');

int wordcount = word.Length;

thanks for that........

i am still having a problem with reading the file! my code is:

<%
Dim strInputText
Dim file
Dim ReadAllText
strInputText =
file.ReadAllTex t("d:\inetpub\l anguage-xchange.co.uk\w eb\ASPTOC.doc")
Response.Write "You entered:<br />" & vbCrLf
Response.Write strInputText
%>

any ideas what is wrong?
