From examining the script, the word count is probably off by just about asmany times as you repeat through the file. You are getting a word count with each repeat, but in your reading blocks you are not only chopping lines, but words in two as well.
That may be it. But the chopped-off line isn't being counted until it is complete (in the next pass), so I'm not sure that's the cause. But if I get a chance after my house guests leave this weekend, I'll take a look.
Another question. I see you are summing the number of words in each line. Is
this really necessary? Perhaps you might just ask for the number of words in
the completed block after you have finished reading it and putting it
together?
The word count isn't important to the script, it is just something to do in order to test the buffering routine. It could have been anything inside the repeat loop; add 1 to a variable, for example, or any other busy work. We were testing different ways of reading a file from disk; it doesn't matter what we did with the data after it was read -- which is why I didn't bother to debug the word count problem. ;)
