Oh, sorry I kind of miscounted the hyphens Smilie and yes I was basically too focused just on the word that I forgot to count other hyphens on the line as well.
What I really wanted to do was to sort by hyphen between the first word of 3rd line which is inside []

And about the IPA characters/symbols, I don't think it matters as I didn't realise you were asking just for the file names. However, the file contents contains IPA symbols [International Phonetic Alphabet] like "æʊθʃŋː" to guide me to pronounce the words. For example, to pronounce apple, I refer to either [ap-uh l] OR /ˈæp əl/ written on the 3rd line of the file. Sorry, I guess I was kinda distracted in the morning as well.

Some of my file names include "!", ".", "+" instead of space. Other than that, it is all single lined file name. And there isn't any quotes.

Sorry I thought it would be simple to execute/manipulate commands to 3rd line in txt files but seems like I am in deep deep trouble for a beginner Smilie It doesn't have to be done as this is just one of my personal project Smilie I apologize for all the trouble caused Smilie

NAME
wc -- word, line, and byte count SYNOPSIS
wc [-c | -m] [-Llw] [file ...] DESCRIPTION
The wc utility displays the number of lines, words, bytes and characters contained in each input file (or standard input, by default) to the standard output. A line is defined as a string of characters delimited by a <newline> character, and a word is defined as a string of char- acters delimited by white space characters. White space characters are the set of characters for which the iswspace(3) function returns true. If more than one input file is specified, a line of cumulative counts for all the files is displayed on a separate line after the out- put for the last file. The following options are available: -c The number of bytes in each input file is written to the standard output. -L The number of characters in the longest line of each input file is written to the standard output. -l The number of lines in each input file is written to the standard output. -m The number of characters in each input file is written to the standard output. -w The number of words in each input file is written to the standard output. When an option is specified, wc only reports the information requested by that option. The default action is equivalent to all the flags -clw having been specified. The following operands are available: file A pathname of an input file. If no file names are specified, the standard input is used and no file name is displayed. By default, the standard output contains a line for each input file of the form: lines words bytes file_name EXIT STATUS
The wc utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
iswspace(3) COMPATIBILITY
Historically, the wc utility was documented to define a word as a ``maximal string of characters delimited by <space>, <tab> or <newline> characters''. The implementation, however, didn't handle non-printing characters correctly so that `` ^D^E '' counted as 6 spaces, while ``foo^D^Ebar'' counted as 8 characters. 4BSD systems after 4.3BSD modified the implementation to be consistent with the documentation. This implementation defines a ``word'' in terms of the iswspace(3) function, as required by IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2''). The -L option is a non-standard extension, compatible with the -L option of the GNU and FreeBSD wc utilities. STANDARDS
The wc utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2''). BSD
