>Hilmar,
>Words(), WordNum() are part of foxtools.fll but wordnum() runs slow. A faster approach is another custom fll if words expected to be more than 65000 or alines() :

BTW if lcString has empty values (ie: 'hello,,,there') this approach and wordnum() misses them. Workaround with alines :

lnWordCount = alines(arrWords,strtran(lcString, lcDelimiter, chr(13)+chr(10)))
for i = 1 to lnWordCount
 ? arrWords[i]
endfor
