Since there aren’t a whole lot of word frequency programs easily found for GNU/Linux, perhaps some scripts would be useful for some of you out there. Below are a couple of Bash scripts and a Python script, each of which can take pretty much any text as input and will display a list of all the words (and numbers, which are treated as words) in the text, and how many times each was used.

The Bash scripts were written by Frank Pirrone and the Python script was written by me, but uses the framework of a Python Tkinter script Frank and I collaborated on a while back as its foundation. The Bash Yad script has been tested on Linux Mint Cinnamon. The Bash Zenity script has been tested on Linux Mint Cinnamon and Linux Mint MATE. The Python script has been tested on Linux Mint Cinnamon and Linux Mint MATE.

Please excuse the purple title bars and the magenta scrollbar in some of the screenshots. Your system’s title bar and scroll bar colors will be used for those when you run the scripts.

• All three scripts launch a GUI and let you browse to a file or paste the input in.
• All three scripts are fully commented to let you know what each line of code does.
• All three scripts offer the option to save a copy of the result to a file in the location you specify.
• All three scripts allow you to choose whether to display case sensitive or case insensitive results.
• All three scripts display a word count in addition to a word frequency count.
• All three scripts offer the option to sort the results numerically.

• The Bash Yad script uses Yad, which you can get from the https://sourceforge.net/projects/yad-dialog/ page. The https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/y-ppa-manager/+packages page has the Yad PPA, and you can find instructions for installing the PPA on the https://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/yad-zenity-on-steroids-display.html page if you don’t have it installed already.
• The Python script offers a help button that displays a description and some guidance on how to use the GUI.
• The Python script uses Python 2 and you’ll need to install the python-tk package if you don’t have it installed already.

These scripts are intended for use as light-weight word frequency utilities whose focus is on words and numbers. Although they handle telephone numbers, times, URLs, IPs, email addresses, and American dollar amounts, they were not intended to elegantly handle code or text with a lot of non-alphanumeric characters. As a result, when using that sort of input, you may see some not so pretty results. They may also fail to elegantly handle some common types of text that we hadn’t thought to test them with. My apologies in advance if that occurs.

An example of how these scripts work can be seen by creating a file named pie.txt with these contents:

I love apple pie.
I love banana pie.
I love coconut pie.

This script launches a GUI that processes your text for display
of all of the words and how frequently each was used.
The Import button can be used to import the contents of a
file into the text box, or you can type or paste text into the
text box.
The Process button offers case insensitive or case sensitive
processing and numeric or alphabetic sort and displays the
word frequency of the words in the text box.
The Export button exports the results to a text file you
specify the name of in the current directory, creating it if
it doesn't exist, and overwriting its contents if it does.
The Reset button clears the text box.
The Help button displays this help text.

Here’s the Bash algorithm used in the Bash scripts above in the form of a “one-liner” you can paste into a terminal window inside any directory that contains text files (files ending in the .txt extension) and it will display the word frequency of all the words in all the text files in that directory:

cat *.txt | tr -cd [[:alnum:]"\n@\'-/' ',\$"] | tr -d [\(\)+*] | sed "s/[[:space:]]/\n/g" | sed "s/\.$//g" | sed "s/[,:.]*$//" | sed "/^$/d" | sed "/^[@,./\$\'-]*$/d" | sort | uniq -c | awk '{print $1" \t"$2}'

Here’s the same algorithm with one space removed before the \t near the end in order to compact the tab between the word frequency count and the words:

cat *.txt | tr -cd [[:alnum:]"\n@\'-/' ',\$"] | tr -d [\(\)+*] | sed "s/[[:space:]]/\n/g" | sed "s/\.$//g" | sed "s/[,:.]*$//" | sed "/^$/d" | sed "/^[@,./\$\'-]*$/d" | sort | uniq -c | awk '{print $1"\t"$2}'

You can get a detailed explanation of the algorithm written by Frank Pirrone here: https://app.box.com/s/0nr5l0eqczlhdog0srs0t56bt3kpes99

Last, but far from least, you can get a Word Frequency Diatribe written by Frank Pirrone about learning from example with the Bash scripts above here: https://app.box.com/s/6ic13hwaahifhxftks7s15rpncp17rwi

And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
