Looking for a software that can...

[LegitBlogger]

Hello Warriors,

I am looking for a software, preferably free, that
can break up text into certain number of words...
something like a text wrapper, but instead of
wrapping (or breaking) up the text by number of
characters, I need it to break up the words by
number of words.

Here's the scenario - I have a huge ton of
text that I want to break up into 2, 3, 4 or so
number of words without doing it manually. Is
there a tool that can scan the entire text and
do this automatically?

Any ideas of any?

A simple PHP script can do this for you on your local PC. You can ask any warrior for help who knows php.

Too bad I don't know php. I found the below script for
free online that can do "close" to what I want, but not
exactly. Problem is that I don't know PHP. Anyone knows
where I can get a script that already does this for free?

The time you're wasting looking for handouts you could either do it manually or, shock gasp and horror, actually pay real money.

I guess you don't put much value on your time?

That's a bit harsh, Bigsofty. You didn't have to say
a word if you don't know where to find what I am
looking for.

Reformat Text Document File Reformatter and text wrapper

Will do exactly what you need.

How do you plan to cope with some words being much longer than others
making your wrapped text look uneven? Is this a visual thing? or do you
have some other need to wrap the text? This is a fairly trivial text
processing task.

A million thanks to you, Jonathan, yes this will
do what I want. Thanks a million. By the way,
how do I use the "thank you" tool so I can say
thanks to you, . It's people like you that make
the WarriorForum the MAIN place to be in,
not people like Bigsofty who, instead of helping,
just wants to make things more difficult.

If I don't find a free alternative, I will use this
that you recommended. Thanks once again.

Yes, Glenn, I do have special need for this script,
not just for wrapping email messages but for
picking out keywords from a gazillion collection
of text.

To Jon Alexander who PMed me, I couldn't reply
as I don't have enough number of posts to send
PM, so I will reply here:

That's interesting, Jon, thanks for replying via PM.
About why I need to do it, I have a gazillion
collection of keywords but I want to pick out
only those with 2 or 3 or 4 words and need this
script for it.

I will be glad if you can give me access to use this
script for free, if possible. If not, then I have to go
with this $27 one recommended by Johnathan.

Thanks once again, Jon and Johnathan and Glenn,
but no thanks to Bigsofty, .

Hi,

Thanks -- actually, just click on the "thanks" button when you see a post (bottom right hand corner of the post, that is how you can 'thank' someone).

Thanks

Johnathan
