Just a couple of minutes ago I tried to get a count and it said that it counted
2 !'s but that might have been from using a wrong file name (I'm a 2 finger
typist, it was trying to tell me that) when I knew I had in the area of 200.

So I took a look at the opn file for some editing errors but coudn't find any.
so I tried again and it told me 198 !'s the second time. So I figured I had just
entered it wrong.

Did you write that? Very cool. It's rather specific as to what it does, but it
does the job well. It could also easily be modified to count the number of games
in a pgn file by counting 'Result'. It could probably also be used for all sorts
of other counting uses. I think I might be able to edit it so that you could
input a string to count like "excount [string] [filename]"

Thanks Alex, works like a charm.

Pete
