If you have a text file and you want to know the total number of words in that file then you can get it using the Notepad++ text editor as follows:
- Open the file in Notepad++
- Go to Menu -> TextFX tools
- Select Word Count option
- You would get the word count of the file
Note: If you do not have the TextFX extension then you must download it through the plugin manager:
- Go to Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Show Plugin Manager
- Under the Plugin Manager Dialog select TextFx Characters Checkbox
- Click Install
- Notepad++ will be restarted
- Now you should be able to see the TextFx option on the menu bar.
