C#

class Demo
   {
       public static void Main()
       {
           string path = File.ReadAllText("D:\\jittu.txt");

           Console.WriteLine(path); // it ll display ur file on console

           Console.Write(path.Length); // show character
           Console.WriteLine();

           Console.WriteLine(path.Split('\r').Length);  // total line

           Console.WriteLine(path.Split(' ').Length); // total word


       }

   }

You can try this also

C#

int  WordsCount = CharCount = LinesCount = 0;
          string FilePath = "your file path here";
            string FileText = new System.IO.StreamReader(FilePath).ReadToEnd().Replace("\r\n", "\r");
            CharCount = FileText.Length;            //total char 
            LinesCount = FileText.Split('\r').Length;       //total lines
            WordsCount = FileText.Split(' ').Length;        // total Words
