I am trying to use a simple little Textedit
script to count the number of words in text documents so they can be posted.
This script works most of the time but it will eventually start to return
the same number. I am not sure how to clear the memory so it will generate
the right number. The way it is being used is to copy the content out of
an email, into a text document, run the script and repeat. Can anyone
see why this eventually gets clogged up?
set AppleScript's text item delimiters
to ""
tell application "TextEdit"
to count words of document 1's text
display dialog "Number of words
is " & result
