A while back I needed to count the ^amount of letters that a piece of text in an email template had (to avoid passing any character limits). Unfortunately, I could not think of a quick way to do so on my macbook and I therefore turned to the Internet. There were a couple of tools out there, but none of them met my standards and since I am a web designer I thought: why not do it myself and help others along the way? And...here is the result, hope it helps out! A while back I needed to count the amount of letters that a piece of text in an email template had (to avoid passing any character limits).
