Re: speed up one-line "sort|uniq -c" perl code

[maksl]

you would gain a speed by using lesser processes in your bash one liner,instead of "sort |uniq":

sort -u

try to use nl for the line number:

sort -u | nl -ba

Update: bad answer .. this question was not asked .. thx Aristotle

[Aristotle]

Uhm, he's not at all interested in a line number, what he wants is an occurence count per word.

Makeshifts last the longest.
