Question how to count number of times each word exist in a file
I'm trying to count the number of times each word in the file exist
for example if the file has:
today I have a lot to write, but I will not go for it. The main thing is that today I am looking for a way to get each word in this file with a word count after it specifying that this word has occured that number of times in the whole file.

today-->2
I-->3
have-->1
a-->3
lot-->1
write-->1
but-->1
will-->1
not-->1


and so on


I used tr to separate each word in a line but I'm not sure how I'm going to look for each word

DICTFMT_INDEX2WORD(1)						Linux User's Manaul					     DICTFMT_INDEX2WORD(1)

NAME

       dictfmt_index2word - Creates a .word index file from a DICTD database .index file

SYNOPSIS

       dictfmt_index2word [OPTIONS] [index_file]

DESCRIPTION

       dictfmt_index2word  creates  a  word index file on stdout for the index file given on stdin or the command line.  A word index file indexes
       each subword from the multi-word headwords of the .index file, to the underlying .dict file.  A word index file	is  usually  named  <base-
       name>.word, but this is not mandatory as long as the proper name is used in the dictd configuration file.

OPTIONS

       --help displays a usage message and exits

       --locale locale
	      use locale for sorting the .word file. If this option is omitted, the default locale "C" is used.

       index_file
	      the .index file to be converted.
