Hi @somya177,

Try this code,

Countword=entirePDF. ToString().Split(Environment.NewLine.ToArray, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Length

Or

Countword=entirePDF. ToString().Split(Environment.NewLine.ToArray, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Contains("Development").Length

Regards,
Arivu

No need to split (which could create a lot of memory allocations) - use Regex.Matches:

int developmentOccurrences = Regex.Matches(myText, "Development", RegexOptions.Multiline Or RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Count

SIdenote: Or operator is used to combine enum flags (since we want both Multiline and IgnoreCase). Do note that since enums are combined with bit operations they use different logic.
