Count words and chars from a file

Ripb123 (13)
So basically the problem I have is that when it counts the words then it no longer counts the chars , (which ever function I put first it only does that one and it makes the second one zero )
Can anyone help me out

Close the file and reopen it so you start counting at the beginning again.
