Here's one way of doing it:

Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

Module Program

Sub Main()

Dim filePath As String = "someFile.txt"
Dim text As String = File.ReadAllText(filePath)
Dim regExp As String = "\b\w+\b"
Dim words As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(text, regExp)
Console.WriteLine("Number of words in '{0}' is {1}", filePath, words.Count)
Console.ReadKey()

End Sub

End Module
