i want to read number of words and characters in it and display them
the words can be separated by: blank space, fullstop,comma etc
and i want to do it in same javascript function (callBack_Show(result) )

Answer 1

To get the number of words, you can split the text using a regular expression where you can define what is your criteria for separating words.

To get the number of characters, you can use the length property of the String, eg.:

var words = artical.split(/[\s.,]/).length; // whitespace, dot and comma
var characters = artical.length;
