Hello
I would like to filter segments that have for example less than 10 words on Studio file
I think the only way is to find a regex expression that allows me to identify words and limit to a specific number but i could be wrong
I tried to identify words using "[A-Za-z0-9]+" but how can i say to the filter to show ONLY segments with less than 10 words for example?
I was trying the "{min,max}" regex but with no sucess
Does anyone have an idea? or work around?
Many thanks
It definitely filters more than 2 words:

The \S is any non-whitespace character, which means any letter, number of punctuation mark. This is helpful if you want to make sure that the characters used to make up a "word" also include things like slashes, commas, quotes, etc. Otherwise, if you only use letters and numbers to identify a "word", the last word in the segment would be excluded from the match if it there is a final stop right after it, for example, and any "words" such as 3" would also be excluded.
Here are some examples so you can see what I mean. Here you will see that the sample text "2-1/2" blade." includes a slash, a hyphen and quote character, plus a final period. This screenshot is taken from RegexBuddy, where each match for \S is highlighted (first match is yellow, next match is blue, next match is yellow, etc.) So here you can see that each letter, number and punctuation sign is a match. The only thing not highlighted is the space.
Now look what happens if I use \w instead for the search, which means any character that can be a part of a word. The hyphen, the slash, the period and the quotes are not matched.
The same thing happens if I use [A-Za-z0-9].
So if I add a + quantifier to these examples, the results will be:
Two matches with \S+, which is presumably what I want if I want to count "words" in the segment:
But four matches with [A-Za-z0-9]+, which wouldn't help in your example, as it would count 2-1/2" as three separate matches, rather than one.
Hope that helps!
