Count the occurences of strings
I have some text files in a folder f1 with 10 columns. The first five columns of a file are shown below.

Code:
aab abb  263-455  263  455
aab abb  263-455  263  455
aab abb  263-455  263  455
bbb abb  26-455   26   455
bbb abb  26-455   26   455
bbb aka  264-266  264  266
bga bga  230-232  230  232
bga bga  230-232  230  232

I want to count the unique number of each string in the first and second columns based on the numbers of third column (or fourth and fifth column). I used the following program.

Code:
for i in f1/*.txt;
do
awk '
BEGIN {
    path=sprintf("%s", "/home/gomez/Desktop/f2/")
}
!s[1":"$1":"$3]++{sU[$1]++;tot++} 
!s[2":"$2":"$3]++{sU[$2]++;tot++} 
END { 
    sub(/.*\//,"",FILENAME)
    for (x in sU) 
        print x, sU[x] > path FILENAME;
        print "Total No -",tot > path FILENAME;
}'  $i;
 done

Output of the program

Code:
bga 1
aab 1
bbb 2
aka 1
bga 1
abb 2
Total No - 8

But I would like to get the output like this.

Code:
bga 230  1
bga 232  1
aab 263  1
abb 455  2
aka 266  1
bbb 26    1
bbb 264  1

Total No - 8

I would like to print the values of each string as second column. The values are in the third column(or fourth and fifth column) of the input files.

your help would be appreciated!!

fmt

fmt(1)							      General Commands Manual							    fmt(1)

NAME

       fmt - format text

SYNOPSIS

       width] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  command is a simple text formatter that fills and joins lines to produce output lines of (up to) the number of characters specified in
       the width option.  The default width is 72.  concatenates the arguments.  If none are given, formats text from the standard input.

       Blank lines are preserved in the output, as is the spacing between words.  does not fill lines beginning with a	period	for  compatibility
       with Nor does it fill lines starting with

       Indentation is preserved in the output and input lines with differing indentation are not joined (unless is used).

       can also be used as an in-line text filter for the command:

       reformats the text between the cursor location and the end of the paragraph.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Crown margin mode.
		    Preserve the indentation of the first two lines within a paragraph and align the left margin of each subsequent line with that
		    of the second line.  This is useful for tagged paragraphs.

	      Split lines only.
		    Do not join short lines to form longer ones.  This prevents sample lines of code, and other such "formatted" text, from  being
		    unduly combined.

	      Fill output lines to up to
		    width columns.

WARNINGS

       The width option is acceptable for BSD compatibility, but it may go away in future releases.
