I would like to redirect a file in to another file It's not really clear what this means - perhaps you want link? and see the number of occurrences there are within the file. It's not really clear what this means - perhaps you want grep or just length?	[reply]

Taking a guess at what you mean: tee can "redirect", and grep (with the -c option) can "see the number of occurrences". All power corrupts, but we need electricity.	[reply]

Ocurrences of what? What do you mean by "redirect"? Show some sample input and output and the code you've tried.	[reply]
