Hi, does anybody know where I can find a program, an add-on, a macro or a Perl module that lists alle the words in a file and also, how often they appear? Or do I have to write it myself? Greetings Harald

If you are on Unix, try cat textfile | perl -pe 's/(^\s+|\s+$)//g;s/\s+/\n/g;' | sort | uniq -c Christian

How about AWK:
{
for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) word[$i]++
}
END {for (i in word) print i, word[i]
}
You probably want to eliminate the punctuation first.
For info on AWK, search DejaNews for "FAQ and AWK" in comp.lang.awk.
