Re: [poedit-users] word count in PO files

Hi Tibor,

Based on what you sent I did something in Python, could probably be done 
better if I know how to use the "re" module, but anyhow it is close enough.

I copied the poedit list in case others are interested in this too or 
maybe someone could create this a patch for poEdit to have something 
like this as tool/menu option.

Best regards
Werner

Python version:
pofile = file(r'some.po', 'r')

wordcount = 0
charcount = 0
netcharcount = 0

nottocount = '0123456789-=.,;:'

for line in pofile:
    if line[0:6] == 'msgid ':
        text = line[7:]
        for x in nottocount:
            text = text.replace(x, '')

        wordcount += len(text.split())
        charcount += len(text)
        netcharcount += len(text.replace(' ', ''))
       
print 'Total number of words to translate: %s' % wordcount
print 'Total number of characters to translat (spaces included): %s' % 
charcount
print 'Total number of characters to translat (spaces excluded): %s' % 
netcharcount
