[Wvware-users] Doc Character Count Using WV

[Ajit S. <aj...@sp...>]

Hi,

                        I am trying to use the wv utility to=20
count the number of characters in a word document.We use=20
the DocCount as our reference.

                   What we are doing is parsing the text=20
file  generated by wv.In addition to the ASCII characters,
we need to take into account the following while doing the count.
(1)Blank Lines
(2)Spaces=20
(3)Tabs
(4)Hard Returns
(5)Headers and footers every appearance

     But the text file created by wv has some inconsistencies
in how the above is handled.For example it adds a Line feed and=20
three spaces to each line.How do I disable that ?
WV also adds a line feed and around 26 spaces for each tab in the
original word document.Even after removing that the word count=20
doesn't tally.So we would like to know what are all the other=20
changes which WV makes in the generated txt file.

In there any way we could disable that in wv itself ?

With Regards
