This was a big thread on the HC list a few years back. Spaces are odd, in
that they are not word delimiters. Although they are. One space between two word
is two words, as is ten spaces between them. In HC:
get the number of words of "a b c" --two spaces between the chars,
returns 3
And this....
set the itemDelimiter to space
get the number of items of "a b c" --returns 1
Space is just a special kind of character, and it is hard to get the white,
er, space.
Does Rev have more powerful tools?
In Rev, using space as an itemdelimiter works as you'd expect:
set the itemDel to space
put the number of items in "a b c" -> 3
put the number of items in "a b c" -> 5
However, the "word" function will still only return the actual number of
words:
put the number of words in "a b c" -> 3
which is generally what we want.
