Word Count...

[Guest AnnieEclectic]

Add this to your blog or web page or whatever. It's a javascript word counter! I just found this and realized that writers that don't use word processors don't have to wait for it to load up, just use this!

 

I love being a geek. Tell me if it's helpful, just kinda killing time when I saw this.

 

 

 

<form method="POST" name="wordcount">

<script language="JavaScript">

 

function countit(){

 

/*Word count script

*/

 

var formcontent=document.wordcount.wordcount2.value

formcontent=formcontent.split(" ")

document.wordcount.wordcount3.value=formcontent.length

}

</script>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td width="100%"><textarea rows="12" name="wordcount2" cols="60" wrap="virtual"></textarea></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td width="100%"><div align="right"><p><input type="button" value="Calculate Words"

onClick="countit()"> <input type="text" name="wordcount3" size="20"></p>

<div align="center"><center><p><font face="arial" size="-2">This free script provided by</font>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

I use MS Word for match writing, it has a word counting tool.

[Guest Longdogger_Pete]

I used to use MS Word until it started crashing on me every time I loaded it up. Even had the same problem when I reinstalled it.

 

So, uh, yeah. I have a javascript wordcounter bookmarked. It's handy.

Diggity dank. Cool app.

 

I use Microsoft Word, but I think it's getting angry at the sheer size of Wargames...poor little application. It almost died during Bo/Thugg/Edwin, so this might just kill its poor little processing heart...

[Guest Ace309]

WordPerfect, baby.

 

Sure, it's a RAMhog, but it works for me.

[Guest El Luchadore Magnifico]

Who wants to use a processor with word count when you can have Notepad, bay-bee!

[Guest Ironman]

I wonder if it counts all that crap too.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Mm, crap.

On a unrelated note, I love your sig Ace. I was actually going to use that pic a while back, but decided not to. BURNING HAMMER!

 

Misawa was fucking crazy in the late 90s, taking that, The Ganso Bomb! Sheer Drop Brainbuster! The Exploder 98! Wristclutch Exploder from the apron to the floor! Half Nelson Suplex on the floor!

It's all... ALL about Vi

No no, my flying friend. Notepad just doesn't cut it when you go up to the limit. I use the simple, primitize, and yet useful, sister of Notepad....

 

WORDPAD!!

EDIT: And I can't believe I wasted my 200th post talking about this crap.

"I still don't get it.

 

Are grammar and programs featuring actual functions uncool?

 

Am I out of the loop?!

 

Well dammit...I'll beat you all! I'm going to write a 10 000 word match straight onto the boards.

 

No wait...even better! I'll write it out using a typewriter then scan it in!

\m/ Word \m/

[Guest midnight_burn]

Word all the way baby.

 

Who the hell uses Notepad or Wordpad in this day and age, you might as well just write your match out and mail it to your marker instead of using those 'programs'.

[Guest KingOfOldSchool]

I really only use word if I'm writing multiple things at once, like a match along with a promo. If it's just a match, I'll use Notepad or Wordpad and keep an online counter in a browser window.

[Guest AnnieEclectic]

Ah, Stryke, you see some of us use these 'programs' because we're what you call 'efficiency nuts'. We believe programs that are merely meant to accept your keystrokes and remember them shouldn't use, say, more than 10% of your RAM. There are word processors that do this (like Emacs - which also checks your email and will surf the internet and anything else you feel like doing with it) but then you can go even simpler and use a simple program like notepad of Vi (which will also correct any code you feel like programming in, quite handy)

 

Word, in some cases, likes to be the only program running on your computer. anything else and it will crash.

 

Whenever I wrote a match I usually had chat up, probably an AIM clone, Opera (with a few tabs open, my stats, opponents stats, and card), Vi (to write the match), and XMMS (to play all my neato mp3s). If I'm feeling frisky, I might burn a CD too.

 

So try this out for me. Run Word, AIM, Chat, 2-3 Browsers, Winamp, and Nero/Easy CD at the same time and watch the fun

 

 

 

 

 

Which goes to prove that linux is yet again superior.

 

 

*reads top of post*

 

..I...uh....mean why people use simple text editors to write matches... heh *cough* ... uh... yeah....

Uh, Annie? With the exception of Nero, and with WMP instead of Winamp... I do do that. Almost every single time I write a match.

God, I hate those f'n smileys...

[Guest midnight_burn]

I usually have loads of things open at once and Word always works just fine and dandy for me.
