    I want to know the number of letters A..Z (ascii 65..90), a..z
    (ascii 97..122),

    and the numbers of numbers 0..9 (ascii 48..57) and decimal points
    (ascii 46).


Once again, that's not so simple. You don't want other kind of numbers? Would á count as one a and one '?


    I won't have an weird characters in these stings, such as !@#$^&%(


Whoa, whoa, whoa, you calling á and ñ weird?

Anyway, if that's what you want, just filter those precise graphemes and count the number of graphemes.

Cheers

"abcrd-12.3.4"  would be five letters, six numbers, and one
I don't care.
