Re: [tw5] Counting specific words
I would just add all the solutions here it are counting words in a title or
string or the text field. None are attempting to render the tiddler first
so that lists transclusions and macros etc.. are first expanded.
You can use the wikify widget to wikify the result into a variable and pass
that to the word count.

Another technique is to use the “split” operator to split the string by

Using the splitregexp operator instead allows would allow splitting

I use a char that should never be within the tiddler, þ in my example.
You can use another rare character is old English is concerned! I replace
every occurrence of the word with it, then remove any other character then
count the length of the result. If you want case sensitive search, just
omit the `i` flag in the first `search-replace`.

Re: [tw5] Counting specific words
Thank you very much,
both work, also one more question , to get anywhere remotely close to
writing code like this for tiddly wiki , what language should i try to
learn, i have no coding skills, and was just wondering if i would invest my
time in learning a bit, what language should i be looking at?
thanks again

Your code is actual code and it would be good to use it rather than the
current example.
I was sure you coded instead of <__arg__> and I had copied it and
executed. It was not functioning as it should. But I can no more remember
why: was it the problem I told about why regexp was better or was it that
it did nothing?
Anyway, thank you for your correction about what I told. I have yet again

It's actually not an error: it's an alternative way to access the parameters of
macros. It avoids the problem that otherwise the code would fail with a tiddler
title containing a closing square bracket.
There are docs here under "Parameters as Variables <<__...__>>":

Yes, I did that quickly, but indeed I think that splitregexp would be needed to
make it practical, both to resolve the word boundary issue and the case
sensitivity issue.

Re: [tw5] Counting specific words
You made an error in your macro, Jeremy. You should have used $arg$ instead
of .
Thus your code would be
\define count-words(title,word)
<$text text={{{ [[$title$]get[text]split[$word$]count[]subtract[1]] }}}/>
\end
But it is false nonetheless because it would, for example, cut word "totem"
if asked for word "to". My regular expression does not do that thanks to
the \b at both ends of the arguments.
