Dear All
Does somebody know about a program for giving us the number of occurrences of each word in a text file?
Thanks in advance,

I don't know of a program that does it--perhaps it's built in to a word processor? You can use a few commands to accomplish the same thing.

Well, this sounds like a good job for perl...
perl -e 'open F,$ARGV[0];for(<F>){for(split /\W/,$_){$t{lc $_}++}}for(sort keys %t){print $_, " => ", $t{$_}, "\n"}' forums.txt
Will count all the occurrences of words, w/o non-word chars, lower the case and print them in order.
