How do I count the number of words in a text (string)?

Question

I have this string vector (for example):

str <- c(\"this is a string current trey\",
    \"feather rtttt\",
    \"tusla\",
    \"laq\")

Answer 1

Use the wc-function from the qdap package.

str <- c("this is a string current trey", 
         "feather rtttt", 
         "tusla", 
         "laq")

library("qdap")

wc(str)

That returns:

wc(str)
