Oct 26, 2019 at 19:10 comment added smc @seler I think you can make the grep and tr part even simpler like below: echo "Lorem ipsum dolor sit sit amet et cetera." | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -v "^$" | sort | uniq -c | sort -bnr Note that I am a beginner, so I may be wrong, please feel free to advise.

This was never intended to be a executable file shell script. Somebody first splitted it into lines, then somebody else slapped shebang at the beginning. Let it be as it is - just a copy paste line with ton of pipes.

Added a shebang to the script; it doesn't run under tcsh as is.

I wanted to add a \ to the code snippet so it could be copied and pasted, but there's an 8 character minimum on edits, so I removed the spaces and CR instead. EXTRA: you can divide lines on pipes, and the shell will understand

missing quotes around shell glob, POSIXified

Sep 6, 2015 at 12:04 comment added Skippy le Grand Gourou -g (--general-numeric-sort) option of sort may be preferable in some cases. E.g. sort -n will keep 10\n1 4 as is, treating 1 4 as 14, while sort -g will treat it correctly as 1 4\n10.
