Re: Counting words

Yep. This is what I need. Can you point me to documentation where the 
appropriate functions and key-bindings can be found? An entry / link is 
ok. (Not grep. I've got that.)

PS: There seems to be a function in EMacs where I can attach a specific 
signature, a sort of approximate CRC, to a fuzzy search, a bind to "the 
exact word". Is that available?

You might think of making the whole text or region temporarily to one
line and split it at "the exact word" to have as many lines as
instances exist.

For counting a particular word you can convert each instance of white
space into a newline, grep for exactly this particular word, and then
count (a pipe of tr, grep, wc as shell-command for example).

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
