I just found out that if you have a string with a minus sign in it,
that the minus sign can not be a word.
The string,
"This is my - string"
simply ignores the minus sign as a word.
Any ideas on how to detect the minus sign? Offset maybe?
On the other hand, there's ...
set x to "This is my - string"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {space}
text items of x --> {"This", "is", "my", "-", "string"}
As tha minus char may be adjacent to an other char, my own choice
would be :
set x to "This is my-string"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"-"}
set maybe to text items of x --> {"This is my", "string"}
so,count of maybe - 1 is the count of minus characters
