The quick *nix solution use the sort and uniq utilities to produce a numerically sorted list of word counts:

sort file | uniq -c | sort -n
[download]

will print out something like:

1 foo
3 bar
8 blah

If you are not in a *nix environment. This is a perl only oneliner. `perl -lane '$h{$_}++ for @F; END{print qq{$h{$_} $_\n} for sort keys % +h}' file` [download] Switch to double quotes in Windows. `print+qq(\L@{[ref\&@]}@{['@'x7^'!#2/"!4']});`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
