counter.nim

# Import things
import sequtils
import strutils

import os

# Read data from file
var data = paramStr(1).readFile.toLowerAscii

# Remove the parts of the file we don't want to count
data = data.replace(re"_“.*”_", "")
data = data.replace(re"\*\*.*\*\*", "")
data = data.replace(re"[^a-z0-9\s]", "")

# Clean up newlines
data = data.replace(re"(\n|\r)", " ").replace(re"[ ]{2,}", " ")

# Process and count
echo data.split(" ").filter(proc (x: string): bool = x != "").len
