Word Count of .resx files

we will be processing our .resx files for translation. Since these files have lots of xml data apart from strings to be translated, I was looking for a way where we can count the words/strings that are translated. We have winform created resx file

Thanks.

Solution

  • Look for properties named Text and other properties that represent the translatable strings you care about.

    System.Resources.ResXResourceReader reader = new System.Resources.ResXResourceReader(@"..\..\Form1.resx");
foreach(System.Collections.DictionaryEntry de in reader)
{
   if (((string)de.Key).EndsWith(".Text"))
   {
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}: {1}", de.Key, de.Value));
   }
}
