fmt -1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn Also could had some tr and sed to clean out junk spacing and to lowercase everything. By the way, I did something similar when doing some indexing. Another thing I used is a spell checker -- words unknown to my dictionary I made sure were in the index. Jeremy C. Reed
