I often grep particular patterns out of large logfiles and then pipeline the output to sort and uniq -c I thought today to knock up a script to do the counting in a python dict.
This seems work in linux $ cat count.py #!/usr/bin/env python import sys from collections import defaultdict accumulator=defaultdict(int) for line in sys.stdin.readlines(): accumulator[line.strip()]+=1 print "contents,count" for key in accumulator.keys(): print key,",",accumulator[key] $ cat test | ./count.py contents,count , 1 23 , 1 1 , 1 3 , 2 2 , 2 5 , 3 When I try to run the same thing on windows I get IOError: [Error 9] Bad file descriptor How can I make this more windows friendly?
