Is it possible to determine the number of times a particular word appears in multiple files - file by file - using grep
the "-c" option but this returns the number of matching lines the particular word appears in - and would nto work as a line may contain multiple instances of the word
For example :
File A.txt: some 12345 words and risk and risk
File B.txt: and 12345 then another risk
File C.txt: dummy words
I would run grep -l "12345" *.txt | xargs grep ?????? risk -
Expected output
A.txt:2
B.txt:1
Something like this would count the words
awk -v w=risk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)if($i==w)f[FILENAME]++} END {for(n in f)print n,f[n]}' A.txt B.txt
A.txt 2
B.txt 1
