Problem with javascript which counts the words

Hello all,
I am using the following javascript to count the words in quick reply but it isn't recognizes the greek characters can you help me to fix it? It recognizes only the english characters.

Code:


$(function(){$(function(){

          var MinNumberOfWords = 5;
          var LetterCountPerWord = 3;
          var ico_compl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/ok-gre10.png";
          var ico_incompl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/exclam10.png"; 
    
        if($("#text_editor_textarea").length != 0){
             $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");     
             $(".sceditor-container").after("<br/><div id='div_minchars' align='center'><div id='div_minchars_header'> Ελάχιστος αριθμός λέξεων για να σταλεί το μήνυμα: " + MinNumberOfWords + " (τουλάχιστον " + LetterCountPerWord + " γράμματα)</div><div id='div_minchars_info'></div></div>");
            
             var sceditor = $("#text_editor_textarea").sceditor("instance");                 
             var str = sceditor.val();
             var regex = new RegExp('\\w{' + LetterCountPerWord + ',}\\b', 'g');
             var str_arr = str.match(regex);
             var str_len = str_arr == null ? 0 : str_arr.length;
            
             if(str_len >= MinNumberOfWords) $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
            
             sceditor.keyUp(function(e) {
                str = sceditor.val();
                str_arr = str.match(regex);
                str_len = str_arr == null ? 0 : str_arr.length;
                if(str_len >= MinNumberOfWords) {
                   $("#div_minchars_info").html("Έχετε γράψει <span style='color:green'>" + str_len + "</span> λέξη/εις. Τώρα μπορείτε να αποστείλετε το θέμα/απάντηση σας <img src='" + ico_compl  + "' />"); 
               $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
                }else{
                   $("#div_minchars_info").html("Έχετε γράψει <span style='color:red'>" + str_len + "</span> λέξη/εις. Χρειάζεστε ακόμα " + (MinNumberOfWords - str_len) + " λέξη/εις για να αποστείλετε το θέμα/απάντηση σας <img src='" + ico_incompl  + "' />");
                   $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");
                }
             });
          }
       })});


Hello Black-Shadow,

Try replacing the script by :

Code:

$(function(){$(function(){

           var MinNumberOfChars = 50;
           var ico_compl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/ok-gre10.png";
           var ico_incompl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/exclam10.png";  
      
        if($("#text_editor_textarea").length != 0){
              $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");      
              $(".sceditor-container").after("<br/><div id='div_minchars' align='center'><div id='div_minchars_header'> Minimum characters to send a message: " + MinNumberOfChars + " </div><div id='div_minchars_info'></div></div>");
              
              var sceditor = $("#text_editor_textarea").sceditor("instance");                  
              var str = sceditor.val();
              var str_len = str.length;
              
              if(str_len >= MinNumberOfChars) $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
              
              sceditor.keyUp(function(e) {
                 str = sceditor.val();
                 str_len = str.length;
                 if(str_len >= MinNumberOfChars) {
                    $("#div_minchars_info").html("You've written <span style='color:green'>" + str_len + "</span> character(s). You can now send the message <img src='" + ico_compl  + "' />");  
                $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
                 }else{
                    $("#div_minchars_info").html("You've written <span style='color:red'>" + str_len + "</span> character(s). You need " + (MinNumberOfChars - str_len) + " character(s) to send this message <img src='" + ico_incompl  + "' />");
                    $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");
                 }
              });
           }
        })});

Hello Ange,
This script is counting the characters but working with greek characters and recognize them, but I need to count the words. Is there a way to fix it?

You can try this, but I'm not sure if it'll work :

Code:

$(function(){$(function(){

          var MinNumberOfWords = 5;
          var LetterCountPerWord = 3;
          var ico_compl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/ok-gre10.png";
          var ico_incompl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/exclam10.png";
   
        if($("#text_editor_textarea").length != 0){
            $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");   
            $(".sceditor-container").after("<br/><div id='div_minchars' align='center'><div id='div_minchars_header'> Ελάχιστος αριθμός λέξεων για να σταλεί το μήνυμα: " + MinNumberOfWords + " (τουλάχιστον " + LetterCountPerWord + " γράμματα)</div><div id='div_minchars_info'></div></div>");
           
            var sceditor = $("#text_editor_textarea").sceditor("instance");               
            var str = sceditor.val();
            var regex = new RegExp('\\W{' + LetterCountPerWord + ',}\\b', 'g');
            var str_arr = str.match(regex);
            var str_len = str_arr == null ? 0 : str_arr.length;
           
            if(str_len >= MinNumberOfWords) $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
           
            sceditor.keyUp(function(e) {
                str = sceditor.val();
                str_arr = str.match(regex);
                str_len = str_arr == null ? 0 : str_arr.length;
                if(str_len >= MinNumberOfWords) {
                  $("#div_minchars_info").html("Έχετε γράψει <span style='color:green'>" + str_len + "</span> λέξη/εις. Τώρα μπορείτε να αποστείλετε το θέμα/απάντηση σας <img src='" + ico_compl  + "' />");
              $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
                }else{
                  $("#div_minchars_info").html("Έχετε γράψει <span style='color:red'>" + str_len + "</span> λέξη/εις. Χρειάζεστε ακόμα " + (MinNumberOfWords - str_len) + " λέξη/εις για να αποστείλετε το θέμα/απάντηση σας <img src='" + ico_incompl  + "' />");
                  $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");
                }
            });
          }
      })});

No the quantifier is not working http://prntscr.com/5433ox is there another quantifier except /w and /W?

Okay, see if this works :

Code:

$(function(){$(function(){

          var MinNumberOfWords = 5;
          var LetterCountPerWord = 3;
          var ico_compl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/ok-gre10.png";
          var ico_incompl = "http://i73.servimg.com/u/f73/18/10/89/49/exclam10.png";
  
        if($("#text_editor_textarea").length != 0){
            $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");  
            $(".sceditor-container").after("<br/><div id='div_minchars' align='center'><div id='div_minchars_header'> Ελάχιστος αριθμός λέξεων για να σταλεί το μήνυμα: " + MinNumberOfWords + " (τουλάχιστον " + LetterCountPerWord + " γράμματα)</div><div id='div_minchars_info'></div></div>");
          
            var sceditor = $("#text_editor_textarea").sceditor("instance");              
            var str = sceditor.val();
            var regex = new RegExp('[a-z\u0370-\u03FF]{' + LetterCountPerWord + ',}[a-z\u0370-\u03FF]', 'g');
            var str_arr = str.match(regex);
            var str_len = str_arr == null ? 0 : str_arr.length;
          
            if(str_len >= MinNumberOfWords) $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
          
            sceditor.keyUp(function(e) {
                str = sceditor.val();
                str_arr = str.match(regex);
                str_len = str_arr == null ? 0 : str_arr.length;
                if(str_len >= MinNumberOfWords) {
                  $("#div_minchars_info").html("Έχετε γράψει <span style='color:green'>" + str_len + "</span> λέξη/εις. Τώρα μπορείτε να αποστείλετε το θέμα/απάντηση σας <img src='" + ico_compl  + "' />");
              $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", false).css("opacity", "1");
                }else{
                  $("#div_minchars_info").html("Έχετε γράψει <span style='color:red'>" + str_len + "</span> λέξη/εις. Χρειάζεστε ακόμα " + (MinNumberOfWords - str_len) + " λέξη/εις για να αποστείλετε το θέμα/απάντηση σας <img src='" + ico_incompl  + "' />");
                  $("input[type='submit'][name='post']").attr("disabled", true).css("opacity", "0.5");
                }
            });
          }
})});

I added the unicode character codes to the regex.

Yes now its working both greek and english characters sets.
Thank you very much Ange. The problem is solved http://prntscr.com/543z72 .

You're welcome ^^
