    To find out the number of characters in text, you can use the "string-length" function.

    <xsl:value-of select="string-length(propertyAlias)" />

    Where 'propertyAlias' is the name of your property.

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi, how would you go about doing this in Razor? I wan't to count the words in my bodyText and display it so visitors can see how long the text is. Thanks

    Hi Niklas,

    Did you want a character count, or a word count?

    For character count, it a simple string length:

    @Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("bodyText").Length
    

    For a word count, you'd need to define the word boundaries. A quick and dirty would be to split the string by spaces, then count the items:

    @Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("bodyText").Split(' ').Count()
    

    For more advanced techniques, check this link: http://www.dotnetperls.com/word-count

    Cheers,
    - Lee
