Count the bold characters from a text field

Hi Everybody,

 

I have a text field with a text that contains normal and red-bold characters, I would like to count the number of characters with bold style. Could anyone help me to do this operation with a function?

 

I am trying to do an script that extracts the portion of normal text to calculate the length and then calculate the number of total characters minus normal text.

 

What is the best option? a function or an script?

 

Thank you very much,

Wardiam

Actually, the best option would be not to find yourself in this situation. Data should be stored in fields directly - not encoded in text styling.

Sorry, I have to reply to this inappropriate response.

Just because YOU don't have a need for normalizing text in a field doesn't mean someone else does'nt.

And yes HE IS trying to force the data associated with the bolded and colored text to be represented seperately with the mentioned custom function.

Just think about it before you suggest someone is performing what you consider unneccessary work.

TIA.
