Now, Counting number of files that contain words stored in another file

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies.

Using some of the code above I have come up with a solution of my own to another problem using the same set of files.

What I want to do is to read every word from DIC files and search in "ALL" DAT files and find the "number" of DAT files that contain that word from the DIC file and store the result in FIL files. This means I have to only count once in the DAT files even if that word appears several times in that DAT file. For example:
1.dic contains 10 words, I read every word from 1.dic line by line and search in all DAT files as to how many DAT files contain that word from 1.dic. Then I write the result (i.e. count values) in every line in 1.fil. Similarly, I read every word in 2.dic line by line, search words in all DAT files and write the count values in 2.fil. My 2.fil should look something like this:

Code:

i.e word in the first line (of 2.dic) appears 20 times in all the DAT files (counting that word only once in all DAT files even if one DAT file contains that word several times). Same thing has to be done with all the 6000 DIC files.

Code:

for DAT in *.dat
do
for DIC in *.dic
do
while read word
CNT=$(basename "$DAT" .dat).fil
DIC=$(basename "$DAT" .dat).dic
grep -il "$word" | find . | wc -l $DIC $DAT > $FIL
done
done

dat_strerror

dat_strerror(3DAT)				     Direct Access Transport Library Functions					dat_strerror(3DAT)

NAME

       dat_strerror - convert a DAT return code into human readable strings

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
       #include <dat/udat.h>

       DAT_RETURN
	   dat_strerror(
	   IN	 DAT_RETURN    return,
	   OUT	 const char    **major_message,
	   OUT	 const char    **minor_message
	   )

PARAMETERS

       return	  DAT function return value.

       message	  A pointer to a character string for the return.

DESCRIPTION

       The  dat_strerror()  function converts a DAT return code into human readable strings. The major_message is a string-converted DAT_TYPE_STA-
       TUS, while minor_message is a string-converted DAT_SUBTYPE_STATUS. If the return of  this  function  is	not  DAT_SUCCESS,  the	values	of
       major_message and minor_message are not defined.

       If an undefined DAT_RETURN value was passed as the return parameter, the operation fails with DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER returned. The operation
       succeeds when DAT_SUCCESS is passed in as the return parameter.

RETURN VALUES

       DAT_SUCCESS		The operation was successful.

       DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter. The return value is invalid.
