woc's purpose is to count words occurrences in files. It can count every single word, and print these counts in the format the user choices. woc is distributed under the GNU General Public License, and it may be used and copied freely.

Yes, yes, yes... I know... Let me explain! Well, woc is not an essential program. And I mean that you can obtain the same results also without it. In fact, GNU textutils can do the same with some pipes.

The problem is that this solution is rather slow (compared to woc, very slow), especially if you don't have a powerful system. And what, if you have a big file (1 MB is enough to experience the difference)?

OK, if you say I am a fool, well, you can use the script provided in the info pages of GNU textutils, no problem. You can also download it from here. But if you have heavy data to manage, well, I think woc is for you.

What's New in This Release:
