Word count

The example shows you how to open a text document and count number of words and paragraphs.

import java.util.List;

import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Paragraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Text;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument("c:\\test\\input.odt");

            List<Text> texts = doc.getTexts();

            int wordCount = 0;
            
            for (int i = 0; i < texts.size(); i++)
            {
                String[] words = texts.get(i).getValue().split(" ");
                wordCount += words.length;
            }

            List<Paragraph> paragraphs = doc.getParagraphs();

            int emptyParagraphCount = 0;

            for (int j = 0; j < paragraphs.size(); j++)
            {
                if(paragraphs.get(j).getContent().size() == 0)
                {
                    emptyParagraphCount++;
                }
            }

            System.out.println("Paragraphs=" + paragraphs.size());
            System.out.println("Empty paragraphs=" + emptyParagraphCount);
            System.out.println("Words=" + wordCount);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
