[MacPerl] Word Count Programme..

[Amitava Basu <aztec@giascl01.vsnl.net.in>]

Hi!

I have a small programme for counting words.  I am unable to
find where I have gone wrong.  Can anyone please help me find
the fault?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$TheFile="sample.txt";
open (INFILE,$TheFile) or die "The file $TheFile could not be found.\n";

$CharCount=0;
$WordCount=0;
$LineCount=0;

while (<INFILE>) {
$TheLine = $_;
chomp($TheLine);
$LineCount = $LineCount + 1;
$LineLength = Length($TheLine);
$CharCount = $CharCount + $LineLen;

if ($TheLine eq "") {next};
$WordCount = $WordCount + 1;
$CharPos = 0;
until ($CharPos == $LineLen) {
if (substr($TheLine, $CharPos, 1) eq "")
{$WordCount = $WordCount +1}
$CharPos = $CharPos + 1;
}
}
# All finished, now print the results
print "For the file $TheFile:\n";
print "Number of characters  $CharCount:\n";
print "Number of words  $WordCount:\n";
print "Number of Lines  $LineCount:\n";

When I ran the syntax check it showed the following.

# Name "main::LineLength" used only once: possible typo.
File 'Hard Disk:Desktop Folder:wordcount program'; Line 14
# Hard Disk:Desktop Folder:wordcount program syntax OK

Thanks in advance
