I am using windows 7,is that possible?I need a separate program if there exists something like that, and not to use commands to my main latex text?Is there anything useful that you can suggest? – Vangelis Aug 14 '12 at 16:21
@Vangelis -- texcount will work under windows as long as you have perl installed (e.g., ActivePerl). See the FAQ. – jon Aug 14 '12 at 16:32
I have downloaded the activeperl but I can't understand how I will connect it with textcount, can anybody help me? in the FAQ section I can't understand what I have to do – Vangelis Aug 15 '12 at 00:23
