find the count

[Prashant Zanwar_4]

YOu can do

filename=yourfilename
cat $filename | sort | uniq >> /tmp/strings.uniq

cat /tmp/strings.uniq | while read line
do
grep -c $line $filename
done

for taking into accoung the blank lines, simply do

grep -c ^$ $filename

Hope above helps

Remove blank lines by identfying pattern ^$ and do sort and uniq will give results there.

By simply,

sed 's/^$//g' | sort -nb | uniq -c

-nb used to remove leading blanks and compare them there.
