is there any library function for word counting in c#..?

I am wondering is there any functions in c# that helps to count number of words,sentences in a file...开发者_JS百科?

Now I used the following code is it efficient/error free?

string[] words=datafromfile.Split(' ');
int numberofwords=words.GetUpperBound(0)

Thank you

You could use RegEx.Split using the word boundary \b instead.

You're not considering new lines as word boundaries. Full stop is also a word boundary. You should use regex for this. It has \b

Use int words = Regex.Split(yourText, "\b").Length

Not out of the box, but you can look at this.
