I have a whole folder which they have pattens of 5 words of Y= [Dean James John Mark Bob], so I have 25 files with pattern of $Y-$Y
now in each one of these $Y-$Y i have lines that again which will again have $Y
now I need to get the pattern as $Y-$Y-$Y with will have only two columns
$1 = position of the words $Y
$2 = number of the words in each line

As I am new, I was dividing each line to a file and then break each word to new file and then get NR --- i know its funny but im learning Smilie
Code:
FILES="F1/*"
for X in $FILES
do
    name=$(basename $X) 
    awk -v NM="$name" '$0 != ""{ print > "F2/"NM"-"NR".txt" }' $X 
done
#word per line separator 
FILES="F2/*"
for X in $FILES
do
	name=$(basename $X) 
	cat $X | tr ‘ ‘ ‘\n’ >F3/${name}
done
#get the position and count the number of lines per file
FILES="F3/*"
for X in $FILES
do
	name=$(basename $X) 
awk  '/^Dean$|^James$|^John$|^Mark$|^Bob$/  {print $1,  NR }'  $X > F4/${name}
awk  'END{print NR-1}'  $X > F5/${name}
done

this is a mess and those not really do what I need for the naming which is adding the third parameter as well and has many separate files which need to be added up later...
I am looking for more appropriate way of doing it

@Pamu: I used used as its the same problem Smilie Smilie
