Character count for SublimeText/WordCount

charactersplaintextsublime-text-3

I'm new to Sublime Text (using ST3) and I've managed to install the SublimeText/WordCount package via Package Control.

https://github.com/SublimeText/WordCount/blob/st3/readme.md lists enable_count_chars as a preference that I can set to 'true'.

But I have no clue how to do that. Yes yes, I've tried googling it, but I'm having no luck finding it and I'm sure someone knows exactly how to do it 🙂

Best Answer

Select Preferences → Package Settings → Word Count
Select either Settings - Default or Settings - User
In the word-count–settings file that is opened, enter your Word Count settings
Save

On a Mac, you'll need to copy and paste the settings from Settings - Default to Settings - User and edit from there.

It appears that the MattDMo answer is not the correct pattern for the desired results. Here's what I did for a more elegant solution:

Open Sublime Text 2

Paste the block:

setI0100(mds3a1.getI0100().toString());
setI0200(mds3a1.getI0200().toString());
setI0300(mds3a1.getI0300().toString());
setI0400(mds3a1.getI0400().toString());
setI0500(mds3a1.getI0500().toString());
setI0600(mds3a1.getI0600().toString());
setI0700(mds3a1.getI0700().toString());
setI0800(mds3a1.getI0800().toString());
setI0900(mds3a1.getI0900().toString());
setI1100(mds3a1.getI1100().toString());
setI1200(mds3a1.getI1200().toString());
setI1300(mds3a1.getI1300().toString());

Find > Replace (CTRL+H)

Enable Regular expressions button (Alt+R)

The result is what you were asking for:

Before:
    setI0100(mds3a1.getI0100().toString());
After:
    setI0100
