$tc function question

Is there a reason I’m unaware of that TC can split on spaces (" ") but can’t count them? The image below illustrates the different behaviors:

Hi there,

I tried it myself and yes tc cannot control the space character, it’s a bit strange. Perhaps @frank could help us in this?

I have an alternate solution to your need:

$tc(count, tc(reg, "To be or not to be", " ", "|"), "|")$

NOTE
We can replace the | with any other symbol as long as it doesn’t exist in the text.

I hope this would help.

Thanks Baju, yes that should work, I’ll try it out.

Yes, I got it, I understand that much regex at least :wink: I just hadn’t thought of it with the TC count function.

Thanks again
