Countr

Gem Version

A simple RubyGem that counts the number of characters in a string and displays it.

NOTE: Make sure to escape any quotes (\\') or double-quotes (\\") (if'n your string has something quoted, for example) so that they are included in the overall count.

Usage

countr STRING

Examples:

  • Tweet length:
    $ countr \@username and then I said \"OMG this new rubygem called \'countr\' is super-cool!\"
  • Arbitrary sentence:
    $ countr Sundry items have a way of creeping into your subconscious, whether your mind lingered on them for long or not.
