Using regular expressions and treating words containing hyphens, underscores and apostrophes as single words: using System; using System.IO; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; class Program { static void Main() { string filePath = "whatever.txt"; string text = File.ReadAllText(filePath); string regExp = @"\b(\w|[-'])+\b"; int wordCount = Regex.Matches(text, regExp).Count; Console.WriteLine("The number of words in the file is {0}", wordCount); Console.ReadKey(); } }

try this public string ReadTextFile( string filename) { StreamReader re = File.OpenText(filename); string result = "" ; string input = "" ; try { while ((input = re.ReadLine()) != null ) { Thread.Sleep(5000); for ( int i = 0; i { result += input[i]; Thread.Sleep(2500); } } } catch ( Exception ex) { // do something here. } finally { if (re != null ) { Thread.Sleep(2500); re.close; } re = null ; } } private int CountWords( string filename, string text) { int wordCount = 0; try { for ( int i = 0; i { if (text[i] == ' ' || text[i] == '\i' ) { Thread.Sleep(500); wordCount++; if (wordCount > 1) { Thread.Sleep(500); ReadTextFile(filename); } } } } catch ( Exception ex) { // do something here } return wordCount; }
