If you are using a *nix, you can strip all the lyx and latex lines from the file and pipe the text only to wc. The idea is not mine and appeared on this list about half a year ago. I have the command in a script that is sometimes useful. grep -v "[\]" $1|grep -v "$L yx 1.1" |grep -v "^$" If you understand this, you should be able to figure out what to do with it. Make sure to do the right thing with the "$1" (replace with file name or put it back into a script so the $1 makes sense). If your are using windows, you have my pity. -- Mark Hansel PO Box 41 Minnesota State University Moorhead Moorhead, MN 56563 ph: 218-236-2039 fax: 218-236-2593 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwwcj.mnstate.edu
