Hi Isabelle, We have some plans to add actions in Oxygen for counting words and characters. In the meantime you can create an XSLT stylesheet with the following content: <xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'> <xsl:template match='/'> <xsl:text>The document contains </xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name='add'> <xsl:with-param name='nodes' select='//text()'/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:text> characters. </xsl:text> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name='add'> <xsl:param name='sum' select='0'/> <xsl:param name='nodes' select='/..'/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test='not($nodes)'> <xsl:value-of select='$sum'/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:call-template name='add'> <xsl:with-param name='sum' select='$sum + string-length($nodes[1])'/> <xsl:with-param name='nodes' select='$nodes[position() != 1]'/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> and apply it on the XML file. If you need to count words, there is an XSLT stylesheet available here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/11854 Regards, Radu -- Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com On 5/7/2010 5:19 PM, Rogie Isabelle wrote:
Hi,
Is it possible to know simply the number of characters in a xml file?
I use Author version 10.2 on Mac OS X.
Best Regards,
