I have a word counter JS script which is counting words in a form field and
I think I have a problem with (uurgh) my RegEx... ;-) I want to ensure that
when a user enters say "That's all folks" that the function actually counts
that as 3 words. At the moment, its counting it as over 3. Am I missing
a simple regex string for it to recognise it as 3?
here is a snippet of the crucial but
========================
var char_count = this_field.value.length;
var fullStr = this_field.value + " ";
var initial_whitespace_rExp = /^[^A-Za-z0-9]+/gi;
var left_trimmedStr = fullStr.replace(initial_whitespace_rExp, "");
var non_alphanumerics_rExp = rExp = /[^A-Za-z0-9]+/gi;
var cleanedStr = left_trimmedStr.replace(non_alphanumerics_rExp, "
");
var splitString = cleanedStr.split(" ");
var word_count = splitString.length -1;
========================
