   For those of you who have participated in National Novel Writing Month, and are Linux people who use Open Office, here is a short script that I wrote that does a word count and makes a scrambled output file to submit.

   odt2txt Novel.odt | gawk '{ gsub( /[a-z]/,"a" ); print $0 }' > out.txt cat out.txt | gawk '{ x = x + NF } END { print x " words" }' The problem I had with the Open Office word count is that it gave me a too-high number. This script matched how the NaNoWriMo site counts their words.
