ok i was working with the first idea. here is what i have so far. but for some reason this is not working, the command works but i think there is a problem with the input.

Code:
#!/bin/csh

echo "Please enter a filename: "
set filename = $<

set dif = `tr -d '.:"$(),-' < $filename | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | tr ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq | wc -l`
set num = `wc -l`

echo "Thank you, your file has $num words and $dif different words."

echo " "

maybe someone can catch it..
