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

NAME
ptargrep - Apply pattern matching to the contents of files in a tar archive SYNOPSIS
ptargrep [options] <pattern> <tar file> ... Options: --basename|-b ignore directory paths from archive --ignore-case|-i do case-insensitive pattern matching --list-only|-l list matching filenames rather than extracting matches --verbose|-v write debugging message to STDERR --help|-? detailed help message DESCRIPTION
This utility allows you to apply pattern matching to the contents of files contained in a tar archive. You might use this to identify all files in an archive which contain lines matching the specified pattern and either print out the pathnames or extract the files. The pattern will be used as a Perl regular expression (as opposed to a simple grep regex). Multiple tar archive filenames can be specified - they will each be processed in turn. OPTIONS
--basename (alias -b) When matching files are extracted, ignore the directory path from the archive and write to the current directory using the basename of the file from the archive. Beware: if two matching files in the archive have the same basename, the second file extracted will overwrite the first. --ignore-case (alias -i) Make pattern matching case-insensitive. --list-only (alias -l) Print the pathname of each matching file from the archive to STDOUT. Without this option, the default behaviour is to extract each matching file. --verbose (alias -v) Log debugging info to STDERR. --help (alias -?) Display this documentation. COPYRIGHT
