Feb 11, 2021 at 4:52 comment added Hopping Bunny Nice. In GNU grep 3.4, I found that I can omit \< and \> like so: cat poem.txt | grep -Evi -e 'an .* the' -e 'the.* an' | grep -Eci -e '(an|the)'

Feb 5, 2021 at 2:20 comment added Ed Morton Is best-selling one word or 2 (or even 3 - best, selling, and best-selling)? As always with these sorts of questions the definition of a "word" is key.

Fix the problem of incorrect count (is 9).

Adapt formatting, rephrase to "merge" the edited parts into one more or less seamless text

Feb 3, 2021 at 13:25 comment added berndbausch grep -c the poem.txt | grep -c an poem.txt does not what you expect. It first counts the number of lines with the. The output, i.e. the number, is piped into a second grep, which ignores its input. It counts the lines containing an and outputs that. Besides, the two grep commands also count lines that contain there or demand.

Feb 3, 2021 at 12:30 comment added Kamil Maciorowski Does "but not both" mean a line that contains both should not count at all? Or should it add 1 to the count (as opposed to adding 2)?
Feb 3, 2021 at 12:28 comment added terdon Please edit your question and i) add an example input file and ii) show the output you expect. Clarify if we should count pan as an occurrence of an or not. Also clarify if you want to count the lines or the number of times each word appears.
