Look, I understand what your staying and have from the beginning but you don\'t seem to understand what I\'m saying.

I\'m not counting characters. I\'m counting the size of the whole code. Maybe I do it differently than scripting competition comparison scripts but I do so on purpose.

In order to actually use a code it must be saved into a file and doing so makes it so the carriage returns and spaces do count for something.

And your right, the $file().size does count leading and trailing spaces but that\'s because they actually affect the file size. In every test I\'ve tried the $file().size matches exactly with the reported file size from windows.

Like I said before, I\'m probably going to add options to select how the bytes are counted, either literally, like the examples you gave or actual file size like I\'ve been doing.

I\'ll get on that tomorrow as I\'m working on something else at the moment.
