Re: ranking number of occurances

If you really want to

compare the number of times a string occurs in a set of files

as opposed to lines in which the pattern occurred, you'll need to add to the hash's value:

$hash{$_} += $c;
[download]

for your code, or

$hash{$_} += $c if $c;
[download]

I don't think so. Your code says that line/file "a48754a4397543a43753a" contains "a" 8 times. Even if $_ represents a file instead of a line, no change is needed. If he wants the total, then he'd need `$hash{$_} = $c; # Per line/file count $total += $c; # Total count` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
