Configs
  • A: Set String * #{EL}
  • B: Select NUMERIC DATA for Number of Characters (update)
  • C: Select NUMERIC for #Characters ignoring LF (update)
  • D: Select NUMERIC for #Characters ignoring LF and Space (update)
Script
// Nashorn Script (engine type: 1)
// 
// Notes:
// Counts consecutive spaces (including tabs and double-byte spaces) as one character.
// Use C if you do not want to count linefeed codes as characters.
// Use D if you do not want to count linefeed codes and spaces as characters.
// 
// Notes (ja):
// 連続する空白(タブや全角空白も含む)は全体で1文字とカウントされます。
// 改行コードを文字数にカウントしたくない場合はCを使用してください。
// 改行コードと空白を文字数にカウントしたくない場合はDを使用してください。
