[OS X TeX] Can we count the number of words of the selection?

[h.smith at neu.edu]

Hi all,

One simple approach is to copy the selection, open a terminal and run the 
command
        pbpaste|wc
as in 
        hs$ pbpaste|wc
                0      67     373 

The Unix "wc" command provides this function easily - perhaps not as 
"nice" as one built-in for TeXShop but...

Dear all,

Some journal ask the abstract should be less than, say 100 words. Can 
we count the number of words of the selection in the TexShop?

Best,

Long
