Like this:

on calcNoLines myText,charpos
    halfText = chars(myText,1,charPos)
    return the number of lines of halftext
end

on calcNoWords myText,charpos
    halfText = chars(myText,1,charPos)
    return the number of words of halftext
end

-- Welcome to Director --
dMbr =  member("test")
givenWord = 7
-- 
put 1 + dmbr.text.word[1..givenWord].chars.count ¬
    - dmbr.text.word[givenWord].chars.count
-- 36


To the latter Andy Fuchs remarked:

Bei einem Text mit 250.000 Zeichen suche ich das 1000ste Wort:
Ergebnis: 

-- "5483 Zeichen/ 139 milliseconds"


Andy schreibt:

dMbr =  member("test")
givenWord = 57
   
t = dmbr.text
put 1 + t.word[1..givenWord].chars.count ¬
    - t.word[givenWord].chars.count

Ergebnis: 

-- "5483 Zeichen/ 73 milliseconds"

Ergo: eine Zeile mehr, aber fast doppelt so schnell :-)
