A few weeks ago, by chance, I saw a text conversation between two of my cousins ​​on Facebook. I kept reading that conversaion as a silent observer and didn't took part in it. There was a lot of text in the conversation.
.
After a while I wondered what I should do with this conversation. Then I thought that since there is so much text in the conversation, why not check that it uses all the English alphabets and all the digits of the decimal system.
.
At first I tried to do it manually but of course it was not an easy task nor was I interested in doing it manually at all costs. So I decided to create a software application in c# (c sharp) myself to solve this task.
.
Within few days I created the required application in c# (c sharp). I named the application as "CountInText". Longer version of the name of the application under discussion is "Count Tokens in Text file". During creation of the application I added some more features to it like punctuation, word and line count etc. It was a good timepass and it also reminded earlier days of my learning computer programming.
.
In the following I am going to explain the application under discussion in this blog entry (article) with the help of screenshots of the application at different stages of it's work.
