Re: is there any function in SAS 8.2,

Hi,

Paul Dorfman posted one a while back for counting words prior to v9-
couldn't find it in the archives. I think it was something like this

%macro countW(string) ;
length(&string)-length(compress(&string))+1
%mend countW ;


data _null_ ;
x="count the number of words in this string" ;
y=%countW(x) ;
put _all_ ;
run ;
