I don't know how to write anything in perl and will eventually learn it. but I was wondering if anyone would help write a quick perl script for me.
Basically I want the script to look thru a file for certain words and cound how many times it finds the word that comes after. I have a log file that keeps track of E-mail attachments being send and received, and I want to be able to do a count of certain attachments. for example. say I see alot of "big this", "big that" and "big nothing" I want to be able to see how many times the word that comes after big appears in the log file. so the output would be like this. this 5 that 10 nothing 20 I hope this is not too confusing. thanks. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
