# Reject Documents by Word Length

The `WordLengthFilter` task calculates the average length of words in a document. If the average length of words in the document content (`DRECONTENT`) falls outside the limits specified by the `MinimumAverage` or `MaximumAverage` parameters, the document is rejected.

The `WordLengthFilter` task can be configured as a Post task. The parameters that are passed to the task are specified in a named section of the configuration file. For example:

    [ImportTasks]
    Post0=WordLengthFilter:WordLengthFilterSettings

    [WordLengthFilterSettings]
    MinimumAverage=3.0
    MaximumAverage=10.0
    OnErrorIndexerSections=IdolErrorServer
    IndexDatabase=IdolErrorReview

For information about the parameters that you can use to configure this task, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.
