+# charposition
+Small Windows app that renders a source file and shows the lines, columns and the number of each character in the file
+
+![Char position counting chars on a file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlasticSCM/charposition/master/screenshot/charpositionscreenshot.png)
+
+This app is useful to understand how SemanticMerge/Plastic SCM external parsers work.
+
+While learning how to develop external parsers you probably create a parser by hand. Then you need to "count" the chars where declarations (methods, namespaces, classes, includes) start and end. This is painful. This app helps you in the process.
