count_words {tokenizers} | R Documentation

## Count words, sentences, characters

### Description

Count words, sentences, and characters in input texts. These functions use the `stringi` package, so they handle the counting of Unicode strings (e.g., characters with diacritical marks) in a way that makes sense to people counting characters.

### Usage

    count_words(x)

    count_characters(x)

    count_sentences(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A character vector or a list of character vectors. If `x` is a character vector, it can be of any length, and each element will be tokenized separately. If `x` is a list of character vectors, each element of the list should have a length of 1.

### Value

An integer vector containing the counted elements. If the input vector or list has names, they will be preserved.

### Examples

    count_words(mobydick)
    count_sentences(mobydick)
    count_characters(mobydick)
