Frequency of Words in a File, sed script from 1980
This is not my script, it can be found way back from 1980 but once it worked fine to give me the most used words in a text file.
Now the shell is complaining about an error in sed
The instruction to this one liner tells to set it into an executable script, but lazy people ask, because in my former configuration it worked fine to find the most used words in a large text file. So can anyone give me a hint on the error of sed and its missing expression to the characters. I am trying this in the very directory where the file of book7.txt is located.
Thanks in advance.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
