Split the content of story


hi all,

 

i learning indesign, interesting... extracting needed data idml file.

 

my question is, have single story used 2 text frames, these 2 textframes available in 2 different spreads. want find out how many characters or words or lines present in each textframe.

 

we can determine word , character count using following steps in indesign

 

  1. place insertion point in text frame view counts entire thread of frames (the story), or select text view counts selected text.
  2. choose window > info display info panel.

 

 

is there property find out number of characters or words or lines of single textframe in idml.

 

can me solve issue. in advance.

 


there important difference: talking text frames, text saved in idml stories. these can (and typically do) run multiple text frames. there seems not 1-to-1 relation between idml , actual text frames.

 

if text in separate frames not threaded (i.e., each frame contains 1 single story), comes down counting words (or characters, or lines) per story. can see can done quite (on 1 level) because each story gets saved separately in idml file set. not-so-simply issue contains loads of formatting tags, , these should ignored or removed before counting.
