Compile stats for text and HTML docs with Text Stat

Most word processors will give you some basic statistics about documents you're working on, like a word count. But what if you want to see how many words, paragraphcs, sentences, characters, and spaces are in a text-based document without opening it up in a word processor?

Text Stat is a lightweight, open source Windows application that will let you analyze any TXT or HTML file. In addition to those stats, you Text Stat will spit out a whole bunch of numbers that you'll probably never need to know, including the average number of syllables per word, the average number of words per sentence, and a Flesch score, which basically tells you how difficult the article is to read.
