Thanks for the reply Rene,
Any change of a code sample of how u did this?? Im not at all experienced in Java.
According to the manual, PHP does have some tokenizer functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.tokenizer.php
However, the documentation appears to be lacking as they are still under development. Using it might be somewhat straightforward if you are accustomed to using a tokenizer in another language (like Java) but if not, it's really a little too difficult to explain in an email.
A less elegant but ultimately quicker and probably more reliable solution might be to investigate some kind of external word-counting program that knows how to parse .DOC files (good luck on that part), and call this from your PHP script using system(). Catch-22: the only libraries I am familiar with that can parse .DOC files are the Jakarta POI libraries, which are written in Java. But I am sure that if you scour the web you can find some Perl, Python, or maybe even PHP-based solution.
