| + | Note that the definition of what a character, word, or line is is more than a little ambiguous, so if you have strict requirements for your definition you will need to calculate it yourself to ensure you get the answer you require. For example, the line count will return the number of lines, with a minimum of one, which will not necessarily be the same as the number of end-of-line characters, and the number of characters may or may not count multi-plane unicode characters as one character, and we wont even attempt to define what is and isn’t a single word. | ||
