I was wondering: does anyone know a better word counting algorithm than counting spaces (or, in Cocoa [[theString componentsSeparatedByString:@" "] count])? Thanks.

I bring order to chaos. You are in chaos windows, you are the contradiction, a bug wishing to be an OS.

You seem to be working in Obj-C... is that a requirement? What are you actually looking at doing? Is this for english only? Does it need unicode support? Is this simple text, or are we looking at html/programming/etc...
What I am trying to get across is that you have not asked a solid question, so there is no way anyone could really approach answering it. You also do not indicate that you have researched this topic at all, as there are a whole lot of word parsing algorithms out there for different problem spaces.
executive summary: figure out your question first, then research it, then post.

Counting spaces will be useless in most cases. There are too many word separators which do not incorporate spaces (punctuation, newlines, etc). Like the above poster said, you need to figure out what you want, first.
