If you are LC 7 or higher, use trueWord chunk type vs word. See trueWord in the dictionary. Also suggest using an array as in:
-- tText contains the text local tWordArray repeat for each trueWord tWord in tText add 1 to tWordArray[tWord] end repeat -- the keys of tWordArray are you unique words in tText. The values of this array are you counts of how many occurrences -- to convert the array to a list combine tWordArray using cr and comma -- tText is now a list of the form: word,count<cr> On 8/25/2018 6:25 AM, Keith Clarke via use-livecode wrote: > Folks, > I’m working on a simple utility to count the most popular words in a text > file but my current code runs for a while & then causes LiveCode to crash. > > It runs fine when I merely extract a list of unique words that are not in a > ‘NoiseWords’ list but when I attempt to add a word count as the second item > on the line it crashes after. > > repeat for each word tWord in tSource > > # remove noisewords > if tWord is among the lines of tNoiseWords then > next repeat > else > > #Process words > if tWord is among the lines of tWords then > put lineOffset( tWord, tWords ) into tLine > > if offset(comma, line tLine of tWords) > 0 then > add 1 to item 2 of line tLine of tWords > else > put comma & 2 after line tLine of tWords > end if > > next repeat > else > put tWord & comma & "1" & cr after tWords > end if > > end if > > end repeat > > I’m no developer so I may be using the wrong technique completely, so would > welcome any steer. > > Thanks in advance. > Keith > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
