There are a little error in your statements. If you try your program with the string: "this is a test" (2 spaces between this and is) word count is 5 instead the correct result (4)

This is only better than regex if you are going to manipulate the words, and you are also advised to sqeeze out extra spaces. ----- Original Message ----- From: shaheener <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 23:50:19 -0000 Subject: [Microsofts_C_Sharp] word_counter To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i wanna make a c# program that counts the no. of words in a sentence. i used the ".Length" method but this only counts the no. of charcters.
