Notes on Character, words and non-ascii char count
- Char count considers all characters including carriage return (\r) and newline (\n) (both separately).
- For counting words, whitespace char is used as word boundary (newline, space, tab, etc.
- For counting lines, \r or \n or both together are treated in same way. So this tool can handle windows/dos files also.
- Space count only counts spaces (not tabs, etc.)
- Other whitespace count includes all non-space whitespace character count.
