[HELP] Need a code

Does anyone know a code in command prompt that deletes a word in notepad if it is smaller and larger than 7 characters?

Thanks :)

Hmm nope but I can write it in php lol
You enter text and it will parse it and remove all words that fit certain conditions.

You can't do this in the command prompt.

Best option is to use C, but PHP will do the job too. You generally need to write a code that will how many alpha (a-z) characters exist. When it finds a space or a period, it should reset the counter. And when the counter is 7 or higher, you can just replace the word by nothing.

PHP Code:

---

<?php
function removeWords($str){
$str = htmlspecialcharacters($str);
$arr = preg_split("/\s+/",$str);
foreach($arr as $key => $val){
  if(strlen($val) >= 7){
    unset($arr[$key]);
  }
}
return $arr;
}

/*
 Execution:
 
 $text = removeWords($removeWords);
 foreach($arr as $key => $val){
   echo $val." ";
 }
*/
?>

Okay I typed that up inside this window, untested and what not.
Might work might not lol

I would do it this way:

$text = 'Oohthiswordissoolong but this word isn\'t.';
echo removeWords($text);

Neither sure if it works, just typed in this window either ^^,

That doesn't cover symbols, numbers etc. You would need to add more sets (ie 0-9) to it to get every word.

Yes, numbers and symbols do not appear in words, right? :P
