Sounds like a good project. If you haven't discovered it yourself I'll just
mention one of my alltime favorite scripts. It outputs a frequency list of
words in a text file. Something like:
on mouseUp
repeat for each word w in fileContent
add 1 to wordCount[w]
end repeat
put keys(wordCount) into keyWords
sort keyWords
repeat for each line l in keyWords
put l & tab & wordCount[l] & return after displayResult
end repeat
put displayResult into field "result"
end mouseUp
I think it came from Richard Gaskin, or perhaps the Almighty Himself (Scott
Raney).
I picked it up from Dr. Raney. It was included as one of the Sample
Scripts in the original MetaCard Help.
LiveCode includes it too: in the LiveCode Resource Center see the
example titled "Listing all the Unique Words in a Piece of Text".
