Re: Count word in my dir

Works fine for me (once I added a shebang). You could also get this with cmd-line tools:

ls -l | grep -i WORDHERE | wc -l

Or, you could combine the readdir with a grep in perl:

@files = grep /WORDHERE/,readdir(DIR);

This wont work, if the word appears two times in a single line... A more robust solution would be `grep -h -i WORDHERE * \| perl -le 'while(<>){$i+=s/\bWORDHERE\b//ig} pr +int $i'` [download] T I M T O W T D I	[reply] [d/l]
