How to count numbers of character in a line

[Thejan Mendis]

Hi everybody,

I just thought somebody can help me to create a macro with following
functions.

I have some text document each has two potions

-BODY-

I said this years ago and I see no reason to change my mind: The
family-owned, garaged vehicle is the last vehicle that's going to
get a fuel cell. Fuel cells are still 30 times the cost of what
they need to be for the automotive market. We will need to have
huge experimental fleets, where we will put hundreds of people in
controlled environments and see what they do with these vehicles.
Are people going to be buying them and taking them apart to see ho
they work? What sort of problems are we going to create? I doubt
that I will ever see a hydrogen car for personal consumption in a

Please do not spam the newsgroups by posting the same question separately to
multiple newsgroups. Rather, if you are not sure which is the most
appropriate newsgroup, insert the names of those which you think might be
appropriate into the header of a single message. When you do that, an
answer in one newsgroup will automatically appear in all of the newsgroups
to which you posted. That will make it easier for you to find responses and
can also reduce the possibility of someone developing an answer to a
question that has already been answered.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a consulting basis.

Hope this helps
