I use the .Split(' ') approach
string in = "this is a test";
string [] out;
out = in.Split(' ') ;
Now just get the upperbound of out plus 1.
This is only better than regex if you are going to manipulate the
words, and you are also advised to sqeeze out extra spaces.

i wanna make a c# program that counts the no. of words in a
