A word count action script for Quicksilver
Authored by: Adriana on Mar 06, '12 05:27:56PM
Is there any way to skip Quicksilver altogether and have a Growl Notification that uses count (the clipboard) as an AppleScript?

I donīt know anything about coding but I managed to make a Script that counts the characters and made a Keyboard trigger. But it brings the Dialog Window in the background and I need to go back and check.

tell current application
display dialog (return & (count (the clipboard)))
end tell

I constantly have to check character length and I need something that does not disrupts my work flow. Copying the text and using the script works fine, except for having to leave my current Application in order to check the pop-up Dialog.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
