Say I have a blog model with Title and Body. How I do show the number of words in Body and characters in Title? I want the output to be something like this
Title: Lorem Body: Lorem Lorem Lorem
This post has word count of 3.
+7
A:
"Lorem Lorem Lorem".scan(/\w+/).size
=> 3
UPDATE: if you need to match rock-and-roll as one word, you could do like
"Lorem Lorem Lorem rock-and-roll".scan(/[\w-]+/).size
=> 4

What about "add some rock-n-roll"? There are three words here while your variant will find five.
