Hello all,
Here is another question. Consider this test file:
\starttext
\setupspellchecking[state=start,method=2]
\ctxlua{languages.words.threshold=3}
\input knuth
\stoptext
Typesetting this file produces a word list 'test.words' which ends like
this:
["threshold"]=1,
 ["total"]=122,
 ["version"]=1,
}
Is there a way to extract the value for ["total"] ('122' in this case)
so that I can use that value somewhere else, e.g. in a project file
where I want to present a word count.
The “.words”-file is well formed Lua code, so you can just
integrate it as a table:
Thank you, Philip, this is a clean solution.
