Subject: Re: PDF document statistics (character count incl. spaces)?

Is the character count “wc --char <textfile>” returns with or without
blank spaces? (Which is important for me.) “man wc” doesn’t talk about that.
I had hoped there was a better way than to edit the result of
“pdftotext” in my text editor or in libreoffice writer (deleting
unnecessary carriage returns and spaces by searching for regular
expressions) which are able to do the count I need. In fact I had hoped
that ConTeXt was able to count the characters and spaces it renders to
PDF (is that theoretically possible?) …
Greetings Jörg
