This simply replaces the current column with a measure of the length of the text in each
row in the currently selected column.
B. Count of expression
Using regular expressions (filled into the Expression box), this choice will replace the
current column with the number of matches of that expression in each row in the current
column. This is useful for getting a word count (Expression = “[a-zA-Z]+”) for instance.
C. Average length of expression
Here the program replaces the column contents with a calculation of the average length
of patterns. Users can indicate if they wish to examine the whole expression found
(Match=0) or a substring of that expression (Match > 0). Refer to a regular expression
tutorial to learn about substrings. To find the average word length we would fill in the
expression “[A-Za-z]+” and keep Match at 0.
